The contract, valued at £99,922, commenced on 19th August 2024 and was set to conclude on 20th November 2024, with the award notice published on 20th December 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network operating systems, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
