As of 10th July 2026, the process is in the planning stage, with a notable update indicating changes to the contract start and end dates. Initially scheduled from 5th February 2027 to 5th February 2030, the contract now spans from 1st April 2027 to 1st April 2030, with a possibility of a two-year extension. Interested parties should take note of the future notice expected by 5th August 2026, as this marks key communication regarding the tender's progression.
