The procurement commenced on 4 August 2025 with the submission deadline for tenders set for 5 September 2025. The negotiation procedure follows a prior call for competition, facilitated through electronic submissions. This tender is classified under railway services and falls within the Inverness location in the UKM62 region, with a contract duration of up to three years.
