The procurement falls within the services industry category under the application service providers classification and is located throughout regions in the United Kingdom. The current stage of the procurement is at the award level, with the contract starting from 1 July 2026 and ending on 30 June 2027. The procurement method was direct, below the threshold without competition, with the contract valued at £44,000 excluding taxes, amounting to £52,800 gross.
