The location for service delivery is the Lochaber area, part of the UKM6 region. The procurement method was limited, completed without prior publication, and currently stands at the award stage. The contract was signed on 24th November 2025, with an approximate value of GBP 375,000. The primary supplier chosen is Lochaber Women's Aid, indicating the process's completion status as "active."

This tender creates significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in health and social work services.
