This project falls under the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support with a classification code of 72000000. The procurement process, managed through a selective method involving a call-off from a framework agreement, was concluded with a contract awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited. The contract, worth £18,000,000, will span from 15 June 2026 to 14 March 2031, with the primary delivery location being in Blackpool, United Kingdom.
