This urgent contract, commencing on 1st October 2024 and running until 31st March 2026, was necessitated by the unforeseeable insolvency of the previous supplier. The total value of this contract is £7,997,565, and it has been awarded under Regulation 14 of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2023 Regulations.
