The process was conducted under an open procedure method, concluding the tender stage on 5th December 2025, with the award period ending on 17th December 2025. The contracting process, reflecting services in the electricity distribution and related industries, is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and continue through to 31st March 2027, with the possibility of renewal as determined by the council. This opportunity, spanning across the UKF14 region of Nottingham, presents contracts valued at GBP 15,000,000, governed by legal statute UKPGA 2023/54.
