The contract, identified as CSP26439, addresses the requirement for labour and supervision on an ad-hoc basis at Polaris House, Swindon, and across the UK region. This contract was awarded on 23rd April 2026 and is set to run until 31st March 2027 without competition due to the lack of reasonable alternatives.
