Classified under services in the CPV scheme, the contract was awarded to LABRE'S HOPE COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY. The procurement falls under the light touch regime with details suggesting a below threshold method. The contract commenced on 1st October 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026, supported by funding from both the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund and Economic Trailblazer.
