The procurement falls under the "goods" category and was conducted through a limited competition method, indicating it was below the threshold with restricted competition. Awarded in September 2025 to TM Specialist Engineers Ltd, a large supplier based in Kingswinford, the contract commenced on 4th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 10th November 2025, with the total contract value over £115,000.

Engagement with public authority contracts like this could enhance growth prospects by diversifying client bases and building competencies in fulfilling specialised government requirements. Businesses seeking to expand through government-backed projects should seek limited competition opportunities that match their scale and expertise.
