Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process titled "Regional Merchant Collaboration and Supply Chain Optimisation" was initiated by PROSPER PROCUREMENT LIMITED, based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. This procurement falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with THE HOUSING LAB LTD being the awarded supplier for a contract valued at £74,125. The contract commenced on 5th May 2026 and is set to end on 5th August 2026, with a possible extension up to 30th October 2026.
