This requirement, classified under the "Limestone" industry category, involves the supply and fixing of memorials for deceased Armed Forces personnel. The contract, awarded on 29th October 2019 with an estimated total value of £22,000, is set to span 24 months, commencing on 31st October 2019, with possible extensions up to 48 months. Interested suppliers were required to respond to the open tender process before the deadline of 29th October 2019. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in memorials, stoneworking, and associated services to engage with a governmental authority.
