The tender process is currently active with a recent update extending key deadlines from 6th January 2025 to 10th January 2025 due to technical clarification needs. The procurement follows the Open procedure and offers a contract valued at GBP 290,185, with the potential for two additional 12-month extensions based on performance and mutual agreement. The contract period is set to last 720 days (roughly two years) with renewal options and electronic submissions required through the Public Contracts Scotland portal.
