This contract, awarded on 22nd June 2026, will commence on 18th July 2026 and conclude on 17th July 2029. The procurement method was direct, conducted below the threshold without competition, and is currently in the award stage with a status marked complete. The contract entails various services such as asbestos surveys and hazard protection consultancy, to be fulfilled primarily within the UKD71 region.
