Operating in the services industry category, this procurement involves architectural and building-surveying services and encompasses a local delivery focus within the UKK41 region, specifically Plymouth. The procurement method utilised was a direct method below the threshold, thus conducted without competition. The contract, signed on 7th August 2025, is active with a delivery period extending until the end of June 2027, valued at £70,000.
