The procurement falls within the industry category of software packages and information systems, specifically identified by the code CPV 48000000. The services will be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, England, with the contract period commencing on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2029. The procurement method utilised was selective, involving a call-off from a pre-established framework agreement. The tender stage was completed with the contract award published on 24th March 2026, and the award was made effective on 16th March 2026, signalling the conclusion of the tender process on 23rd February 2026.
