The procurement process is in the tender stage, with submissions closing on 21st August 2025. The contract covers various works, including blacksmith and fencing operations such as downtakings, concrete foundations, metalworks, and timber fencing across non-housing properties within the East Renfrewshire boundary located in the UKM83 region.
