Key procurement process dates include an enquiry period ending on 19th August 2026 and a tender period closing on 25th August 2026, with a contract set to commence on 1st October 2026 and potentially extendable until September 2030. The procurement value is estimated at £60,000 (net) and £72,000 (gross), with delivery focused in the UKL14 region of the United Kingdom.
