The contract, titled "Legal Services," falls under the business services industry category, specifically covering law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security, and is located in Lincoln, United Kingdom (postal code LN5 7JH). This selective procurement method was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the contract period from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026, with the award published on 9th October 2025. The awarded contract is valued at GBP 65,000, indicating a completed status.
