The initiative, identified under 'ASH/25/294', falls within the goods category, specifically shelters, and was conducted using an open procurement method below the threshold, allowing wide competition. The contract period spans from 18 March 2026 to 18 March 2029, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The awarded supplier, CycleHoop Ltd, will supply and install five small cycle storage units, catering to six e-bikes per unit.
