This direct award was granted to Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, and it pertains to the provision of four SCH places for children and young people, located in Wales, United Kingdom. The procurement, classified under the services category, follows a direct award method, with the award date recorded as 30th September 2025. The contract will commence on 1st January 2026 and extend until 31st December 2032, with key services delivered in the region of Wales.
