Summary of the contracting process

The contract was awarded to TAILWIND DIGITAL LIMITED, as part of a direct procurement method that did not exceed the competitive threshold, thus requiring no competition. The contract, valued at £94,000, began on 10th July 2026 and will continue until 31st March 2028, with a potential extension until 31st March 2029.
