Classified under the social work and related services industry category, the project is valued at approximately £2,614,628.16 and is conducted within South East England. The procurement was conducted through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, making it suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).
