This project, titled "Sports Quarter Parliamentary Agents," falls under the industry category of Transport systems consultancy services. It is located primarily in the West Midlands, UK. The process was carried out under a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and has reached the award stage with a completion status.
