Based in Swindon, this process was categorised under the "services" procurement category and followed a "direct" procurement method due to a lack of competition for technical reasons. The contract was awarded to LEV Engineering Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), on 16th October 2025, with an active status confirmed by 12th November 2025. The contract period ran from 18th October to 10th November 2025, marking the project's operational duration.
