The process, titled "UKRl-5184 Edinburgh TV Festival Council," falls under the industry category of services, specifically business and management consultancy services, and was located in the United Kingdom. This non-competitive direct procurement took place without a competitive process and is now in the award stage, with key dates including a contract period from 30th September 2025 to 31st December 2025. The contract, valued at approximately £50,310 gross, was signed on 29th September 2025.
