The awarded contract is in the service category, addressing youth education services in the UKE region of the United Kingdom, with a contract duration from 14th May 2025 to 14th May 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold and without competition, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.
