## Summary

The procurement process involves HS2, a public sector organisation located in Birmingham, which has awarded a contract titled "Provision of AWARD® Evaluation licences and support". This contract, classified under the Miscellaneous Software Package and Computer Systems industry category, has a total value of £444,527.40 and is connected to a framework agreement through a selective procurement method.
