The procurement, classified under the construction industry category, specifically targets the provision of construction structures and materials, excluding electrical apparatus. Located in the North East of the United Kingdom, the contract period began on 20th July 2026 and is set to end on 20th August 2026. The procurement process reached the award stage on 2nd June 2026, with the contract notice published on 28th July 2026. The project has a financial commitment of £122,000 GBP.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the construction industry, particularly those specialising in materials and infrastructure projects.
