The awarded contract, commencing on 1st October 2026 and potentially extending to 30th September 2030, was granted to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company, based in Gloucester. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically as a below-threshold award under a framework, and the contract was signed on 23rd July 2026, with a total value of £108,136.16.
