The primary location for delivery is the UKI region. Interested parties can submit bids through an open procedure process, with the tender period set to close on 24th February 2026. Enquiries can be made until 16th February 2026, and the contract is scheduled to begin on 7th April 2026, extending possibly until 30th March 2030 if renewal options are exercised.
