## Summary

The Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for an "Early Payment Programme," which falls under the information systems and servers industry category. This tender was initiated as a call-off from a framework agreement and has now reached the award stage. The contract period commenced on 10th August 2017 and will continue until 9th August 2022, with an awarded contract value of £500,000. The delivery addresses are located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the tender period concluded on 1st August 2017.
