The procurement process has moved through the tender stage and culminated in an award on 11 July 2025, with the contract valued at £2,401,524. Key deadlines during this process included a tender submission deadline of 11 July 2025, and a contract signing date on 18 August 2025, initiating a service period that may extend over multiple school years, with potential renewals.
