This contract, identified under the award ID "awd-1", was signed on 5th December 2025 and is currently active. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on weed-clearance and weed-killing services. The method chosen was direct procurement, where the contract was awarded to a single supplier, Highland Groundcare Ltd, without competitive bidding.
