This process falls under the services category, specifically related to research and development services and consultancy. The procurement was conducted under a selective method as part of a framework agreement, with the status now completed and the contract signified active. The contract was signed on 3rd August 2026, commencing on 11th August 2026 and concluding on 11th August 2027. The project value is set at £71,225, excluding VAT, amounting to a gross total of £85,470. Key performance metrics include deliverables, regular reporting, and social value commitments.
