The contract, titled "GSS23694 - RM6277 - Administrator," involves the supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, with a main procurement category of services. The contract period extends from 11th October 2023 to 30th March 2026, with a total value of £142,930.48, and is located in the United Kingdom.
