## Summary

Sunderland City Council has completed the procurement process for an awarded contract titled "Alternative Education Places," within the social work and related services industry category. The tender, which utilised a direct award procurement method, covers the North East region of the United Kingdom. The contract is valued at £904,935 and spans from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2028.
