This procurement, classified under education and training services, is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline for proposals set for 12pm on 26th March 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £80,000, and the procurement will involve a direct method with a single tender action, as it is below the threshold. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in educational technology, particularly those experienced in supplying maritime training equipment.
