The contract, awarded through an open procedure, is set to serve regions in England within the United Kingdom. Notably, the procurement award was announced on the 23rd of January, 2026, following the contract period which commenced on the 27th of August, 2025, and will span until the 10th of July, 2026. This full tender process, which concluded by the 22nd of August, 2025, reflects a commitment to engaging a supplier under a complete status procurement stage.
