The tender stage of this process concluded on 3rd July 2026, and the award stage was completed shortly after, on 15th July 2026. The contract awarded is valued at £400,000 and spans from 3rd August 2026 to 2nd August 2029, catering specifically to SMEs, thus indicating a preferable environment for smaller enterprises.
