The tender involves risk assessment and installation of lightning and surge protection at the Castle Eden Dene building located in the North East of the United Kingdom. The industry category for this tender is lightning-protection equipment, under the CPV code 31216100. Natural England, headquartered in Worcester, acted as the contracting authority, and the open procedure was used for this below-threshold project.
