The contract is set for an initial period starting 1st July 2026 and running until 30th June 2027, with the possibility of extending annually up to three additional years. The project is located in the East Midlands region, signified by the UKF1 code, and marks the completion of this procurement process with an official contract signing date of 1st July 2026.
