This project falls within the services category, specifically involving sales or marketing software development. Thrive, located in Hemel Hempstead, UK, seeks experienced model makers and interactive software developers to design and implement a system at Lyndhurst Farm. The award, valued at £79,927 and announced on 26 June 2026, is for a contract starting on 29 June 2026 and potentially extending up to February 2029.
