This project falls under the business services industry, specifically concerning law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The delivery addresses are located in the North East of England. The tender was active until its deadline on 12 April 2019, with a total contract value of £49,000, spanning from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2021.
