The projects are set to be delivered across various regions within the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement method involves market engagement activities scheduled with a presentation on 8th May 2026 followed by a questionnaire and optional one-on-one meetings concluding on 5th June 2026.
