The planned interim services are expected to run from 2nd June 2025 for an estimated 10 months.

Turner and Townsend Consulting Ltd, with their proven track record in delivering technical assistance facilities, are expected to ensure effective operational delivery and minimise service disruption. This process will enable the rapid deployment of grant funding, ensure compliance, and manage risks of fraud and error, making it a valuable opportunity for companies equipped to support such objectives.
