The procurement process, classified under 'services', began its award stage on 2nd February 2026, following the completion of the tender period on 9th January 2026. Services will be delivered across several locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe. The contract period extends from 2nd February to 31st May 2026.
