This procurement falls under the industry category of Systems and Technical Consultancy Services (CPV: 72220000) and is focused on advisory and specialist testing services related to bacteriophage contamination. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement stage is noted as complete, with the final award made on 7th November 2024. The contract value amounts to £450,000, and the services were to be delivered across the UK. The process also included an option to extend the contract by two additional 12-month periods, though this specific lot was later cancelled.
