The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically concerning the provision of Integrated Communications Control Systems (ICCS) and related software. This process is classified under the main industry category of Networking, Internet, and intranet software, and the contract was signed on 22nd May 2026. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, following the guidelines of the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework, and the process has been completed and is active.
