This contract, with an estimated total value of £100,000 over 4 years, was awarded to BMM WESTON on December 19, 2025. The procurement was conducted under a limited procedure without prior competition due to technical reasons; the manufacturer confirmed exclusivity for updates and OEM parts supply.
