Categorised under 'Other building completion work' within the works industry, this tender was part of the Football Foundation's Building Construction Framework. The contract, identified as "C8835", was directly awarded to Sportex Group Ltd, the sole supplier for Lot 10, following a process without prior publication of a call for competition.
