The London Borough of Harrow has recently completed a procurement process for its Community Equipment Service under the award of the contract to Accora Ltd. This process, which falls under the 'services' category with a focus on health and social work services, was executed via a direct procurement method identified as 'Below threshold - without competition'. The contract was signed on 30 July 2025 and spans from 1 August 2025 to 31 August 2025, with a contract value of £99,999 for services provided in the United Kingdom, specifically in the London region (UKI). The buyer, a public authority within sub-central government, is located in Harrow.
