The work was confined to the location at Third Avenue, Ashington, NE63 9BE, and required completion within the 13-day period of the Easter Holidays, from 7th April to 17th April 2026. This contract was awarded on 30th March 2026, following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The total contract value amounted to £41,957.31, and the contract award was publicly announced on 2nd July 2026.

Companies similar to Safe Strip UK Limited, who successfully secured the contract, would find this procurement type appealing, especially those with the capability to respond quickly and efficiently to framework agreement call-offs.
