The procurement process titled "Skill Mill Durham" is led by Durham County Council, focusing on education and training services within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender, classified under the CPV code 80000000, is now complete and was awarded on 7th April 2017 for a total value of £34,000, intended to run from 1st June 2017 to 30th November 2017.
