This contract falls under the electrical installation work category and was executed using a direct procurement method through a single tender action to the supplier, Blachere. The contract, valued at £53,000, commenced on 1st May 2025 and will conclude on 1st January 2026. The process was completed with the award being active as of 30th April 2025.
