As of the latest update on the 9th of December, 2025, the procurement is at the tender stage. This dynamic purchasing system (DPS) contract, using the Restricted Procedure under PCR 2015, is divided into five specific lots. The estimated annual expenditure through this DPS is approximately £2.6 million. Interested suppliers are required to register on the Atamis Portal to access the documentation necessary for submission, which must be completed by the defined end date.
