The process reached the award and contract stage on 24th November 2025, culminating in a contract signed on 5th September 2025.

This tender opens substantial opportunities for businesses involved in sales and marketing services, particularly those targeting international markets such as India. Companies with expertise in managing media spend for lead generation and lead conversion, and that can provide advisory and managed services, would find this project aligns well with their capabilities.
