The focus was on investigating and researching certain DMMO applications to produce a report with evidence-based recommendations. The procurement, initiated as a tender and following an open procurement method, was classified under services, specifically highways consultancy, site-investigation, and environmental management services. The contract, valued at £45,000, commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2029, with a potential two-year extension.
