This tender falls under the services category, specifically IT consultancy, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement method was limited competition, as it was below the threshold. The contract commenced on 21st October 2025 and is active until 1st March 2026, with key stages having included award and contract signing on 21st October 2025. The project is situated in Carmarthenshire, UK, with the awarded amount grossing £41,647.32.
