This contract falls under the legal services industry category, identified by the CPV code 79100000, and is specific to the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed via a direct method as a single tender action below the threshold, with a total contract value of £15,000. Key dates include the tender period end date on 27th November 2024 and the contract period running from 28th November 2024 to 28th November 2025.
