The tender period closed on 14 September 2020, and the contract is set to commence on 1 April 2021, lasting until 31 March 2023. The total estimated value for the framework is £2,800,000, and the awarding process may utilise an eAuction mechanism among the chosen suppliers, which include Avoira Ltd, Communications & Technical Services Ltd, and Radiocoms Systems Ltd. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing numerous public sector organisations to access the framework agreement.
