The tender opportunity is expected to be published by mid-June 2024, and the contract period will run from June 17, 2024, to April 7, 2028. The procurement process utilises an open procedure above threshold, with a tender period closing on June 4, 2024.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to register.
