The tender is currently active, with key phases including an enquiry period ending on 14th July 2026, and submissions must be received by 23rd July 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £115,000, is a single-supplier framework agreement with a start date of 16th August 2026, extending potentially until 30th June 2030.
