The contract falls under the industry category "Other services" and is classified under the CPV code 98390000. This procurement process used a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the nature of the services falling outside the scope of the directive.

The contract is valued at £13,718,475, and it covers services to be delivered within the North East region of the United Kingdom.
