The value of this contract is set at £15,801, and it was awarded through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in hardware installation services.
