The tender, identified as "tender_481961/1481805," followed a selective procurement method as a part of a call-off from a framework agreement and is classified under the goods category. This procurement process progressed to the award stage, with the award officially made on 1st May 2025. The contract extends over a period from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2027. The location for delivery is specified in Wales, at postal code SA6 7JL. The awarded contract, valued at £150,000, was conferred to Academia Limited, marking the completion of this tender process.
