The procurement is categorised under restoration work within the construction industry.

The inclusion of modern building services like air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) and photovoltaic (PV) panels indicates a focus on sustainability, appealing to businesses specialising in or expanding towards eco-friendly construction solutions. The open procurement method also broadens the scope for multiple entities to participate, fostering a competitive environment advantageous for companies ready to enhance their reach and capabilities within the public sector.
