The awarded contract commenced on 26 January 2022 and is set to end on 31 March 2022. Suitable suppliers are expected to have expertise in industrial process control equipment, as the contract involves supplying, testing, and configuring PLC systems.

Companies that excel in the manufacture and supply of programmable logic controllers, with experience in delivering complex system integrations, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given that the buying organisation has identified suitability for such businesses, potentially allowing them to access larger projects through collaboration or subcontracting with established suppliers.
