This tender falls under the services category, specifically within the educational domain, aiming to support a balanced curriculum for students in East Renfrewshire. The contract has reached the 'Award' stage with a completion status, and the delivery location is within the East Renfrewshire region, denoted by the region code UKM83. The procurement method was 'limited,' executed through an award procedure without prior publication, under a Light Touch Regime. The contract was signed on 12th January 2026, with an estimated value of £80,000 GBP.
