The procurement method was a call-off from a Dynamic Purchasing System, with the tender period ending on 7th June 2024, and the contract period running from 22nd July 2024 to 20th September 2024. The total contract value is £23,581, and it targets various locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

Winning such contracts can provide significant business growth through the enhancement of professional portfolios and the establishment of relationships with key government departments.
