The procurement, classified under the "services" category and targeted at repair and maintenance services of electrical building installations and firefighting equipment, falls under the sub-central government public authority classification. The anticipated contract period is set from 20th December 2027 to 19th December 2032, with a potential maximum extension to December 2034.
