The procurement, identified as "UK6 - 715709451 - contract award notice," falls under the Defence and Security special regime and is classified in the telecommunications services industry category. The procurement method utilised was direct and conducted below the threshold without competition. The contract was awarded on 29th January 2026, with the contract period running from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2027.
