The procurement method was classified as "Below threshold - unknown," and the entire process has transitioned from the tender phase to the award stage, with the contract being actively signed on 4 July 2025. The contract runs from 15 July 2025 to 8 September 2025, with an option for additional works. This project's total value is noted as £59,769.60.
