This contract, under the industry category of artistic and literary creation and interpretation services, was awarded to Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd through a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The project covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including London, the North East and North West, amongst others.
