The tender stage was active as of September 2025, with a submission deadline on 10th October 2025. The contract itself is valued at £300,000 with an anticipated start date of 1st March 2026 and completion by 28th February 2030. Potential bidders were able to submit their proposals both electronically and in written form, potentially contributing innovative service solutions as per the procurement's scope.
