The contract spans multiple regions, including the United Kingdom and other territories, and is set to run from 23rd February 2026 to 23rd February 2030. This process was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The award was published on 21st April 2026, following the tender period ending on 15th December 2025. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed unsuitable, larger operators had the opportunity to engage.
