This contract reached the award stage with the selection being made on 31 March 2026, and details published on 21 April 2026. The contract period spans from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, valued at £33,236. The tender, designated under ID LDC-635, was suited to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with Objective Corporation UK Limited being the successful supplier.
