The contract is valued at GBP 193,370 and is aimed at managing funds to support breakfast clubs throughout Scotland. This procurement was conducted via an open procedure and has reached the award stage, with the contract set to last from 10th June 2026 to 31st July 2027, with an option for extension until July 2028.
