The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on the supply services of personnel including temporary staff, with key locations in Oxford (region UKJ14), United Kingdom. The procurement process progressed from the tender stage, commenced on 26th February 2026, to the award stage, as captured on 5th June 2026, which included a standstill period ending on 17th June 2026. The total contract value for the service is approximately GBP 23,400,000, with the contract period starting on 30th August 2026 and potentially extending until 29th August 2031, allowing for three additional one-year extensions.
