The contract, valued at £19,927.72, was awarded to OPENREACH LIMITED for services to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The key dates include the start of the contract period on 1st November 2024 and its end on 29th November 2024. The award was published on 4th December 2024, confirming the completion of the procurement stage.
