The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded on 18th June 2025 and signed by the notably small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) supplier, Cellcare Technologies Limited, headquartered in Market Harborough. The contract's active period spans from 18th June to 1st September 2025, with a gross value of £20,628.
