This procurement, under the industry category of building construction work, falls within the "works" main procurement category. The process has reached the contract award stage, with the contract being signed on 17th July 2026. Utilising a limited procurement method, this contract was directly awarded without a prior publication of a call for competition, aligning with the regulations of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement includes a 156-week hire period that covers various essential tasks such as delivery, installation, and eventual removal upon the completion of the hire period. The total contract value amounts to £399,699 GBP.
