Summary of the contracting process

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council has awarded a contract for "Temporary Arrangements for Toxicology Reporting Services" in the industry category of pathology services. This procurement process, completed on 28 February 2020, involved a direct award method with a total contract value of £100,000, covering a contract period from 2 March 2020 to 30 September 2020.
