The tender was identified by "CON/1001773" and falls under the CPV classification for architectural services. The procurement method used was a direct award, and the contract was awarded to Gensler Europe Limited. The service period runs from 1 November 2024 to 17 March 2025, with a total contract value of £27,470.
