Managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, headquartered in Swindon, England, this award notice pertains to research services in the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a selective 'Call-off' method from a dynamic purchasing system. Initially planned to end on 27th February 2026, the contract's value was increased and the expiry date was extended to 30th April 2026.
