Being classified under social research services, the contract entails selective procurement via a call-off from a framework agreement. The geographical focus is the United Kingdom, specifically Manchester, with contract evaluations being directly tied to public health sectors and guidelines. Critical dates include the tender period ending on 30th June 2025, with the contract commencing on 1st July 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026. Currently, the award stage has been completed, with the contract valued at £213,529.55 GBP.
