The tender stage concluded with an award on 25th September 2025, and the contract is set to start on 1st December 2025, lasting for an initial period of 24 months with the possibility of two further 12-month extensions. The award has been made to MORELLI GROUP LIMITED, with the final bid values amounting to £340,000 net and £408,000 gross, ensuring a focus on quality, time, and cost efficiency.
