The contract, valued at approximately £1.7 million, is expected to commence on 1st July 2026 and conclude by 1st July 2029. This planned procurement is currently in the planning update stage, with details last updated on 21st January 2026, and it will benefit from a selective procurement method aiming at competitiveness and transparency.
