The procurement falls under the general public services industry category and has progressed to the award stage, with the framework agreement commencing on 27 June 2024 and being valid for a period of three years, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The tender was conducted through an open procedure, and the total framework value is estimated at £1.1 million. The final contract award was issued on 11 November 2024, and multiple operators have been successfully integrated into the framework.
