The procurement, initiated in the tender stage, culminated in the award of the contract, valued at £26,988.52 GBP, to The Fountain Workshop (Maintenance) Limited. Key dates in the process include the tender period ending on 30th January 2026, and the contract period spanning from 1st February 2026 to 30th January 2027.
