The procurement location is the United Kingdom, and it is currently in the planning update stage as of 16th January 2026. The planned contract period will commence on 1st June 2027 and conclude on 31st May 2031. Notable key dates include a future notice publication expected by 4th January 2027.

The procurement process opens avenues for long-term supply contracts and increased market presence in the Yorkshire region and beyond, enabling business growth through public sector engagements. With a considerable contract value and an extended contract term, participating businesses can secure stable revenue streams and enhance their portfolio of public sector clients.
