The contract's implementation is set to begin on 23rd December 2025, running until 22nd December 2028, with the possibility of two extensions up to 2030. The awarded supplier, Washroom Services Ltd, will deliver the contracted goods within the West Midlands region (UKG31) under a category related to building and facilities management services.
