The procurement stage has been completed through an open procedure, with the award activated on 9th June 2026, following a period of bidding that concluded earlier in the year. The resultant contract, with a gross amount of £240,000, will run from 2nd June 2026 to 1st June 2028, with an option for a one-year extension.
