The contract, valued at £2,632,000 GBP, was awarded to Grant Thornton UK LLP on 2nd July 2026, with the award notice issued on 8th July. This direct award procurement falls under the services category with the contract set to commence on 3rd July 2026 and conclude on 2nd April 2028.

The contract involves delivery across various regions including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, providing substantial scope for geographical expansion and network building within these areas.
