This initiative falls under the IT services category, which includes consulting, software development, internet, and support services, and is situated in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, utilizing a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded on 17 January 2025, with the contract period set from 4 February 2025 to 1 August 2025. Notably, the contract was awarded to Akoni Technologies Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), with an award value of £88,200.
