This tender falls under the Computer audit consultancy and hardware consultancy services category, with a total value of £924,675. The contract commenced on 6th December 2021 and is set to conclude on 6th December 2022. The procurement method adopted was selective, utilising a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and the tender period concluded on 4th October 2021.
