This contract falls under the category of mechanical lifts and installations within the works industry sector. The project, initiated through a direct procurement method below the competitive threshold, was awarded to Calibration & Consultancy Services. The process culminated in the publication of an award notice on 24th June 2025, indicating a scheduled contract period starting from 1st August 2025 and concluding on 1st September 2025.
