Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has awarded a contract to Allium UK Holding Ltd for exclusive access to British Standards Institute (BSI) publications. This procurement activity falls under the industry category of "Documentation services" (CPV Code 79131000) and will take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom.
