The procurement process was initiated on a direct basis, under the UK legal framework 2023/54, and the contract runs from 7th October 2025 to 31st August 2026, with potential extensions until 2029. This process is categorised under services relating to education, training, and health social work, and primarily serves the UKF22 region, covering Leicester, United Kingdom. The status of the procurement stage is complete, with the award actively in place as of 24th March 2026, indicating the finalisation of the contract details notice on the Find a Tender Service.
