This procurement falls under the industry category of project management consultancy services, identified by CPV code 72224000. The award was formalised on 17 April 2026, marking the transition to the contract stage. The contract spans from 17 April 2026 to 16 April 2028, indicating a two-year project duration. With a total value of £1,000,000, the procurement utilised a selective method through a dynamic purchasing system, illustrating a tailored approach to supplier selection.

Nevertheless, the procurement framework also highlights inclusivity for SMEs and VCSEs, signalling opportunities for smaller and community-driven enterprises to bid in similar future tenders.
