This procurement, governed by the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54, involves a planning update dated 6 July 2026 with key engagement milestones and deadlines stretching from July to September 2026. Located in Chesterfield, UKF region, the total gross value of the contract is estimated at £60 million, with net worth placed at £50 million, and the planned contract period spans from April 2027 to March 2030, potentially extending to March 2032.
