The procurement stage is currently at 'Award,' with 220 contracts awarded for the specified period. The process follows the 'Restricted procedure' method, a selective approach under the legal framework of CELEX ID 32014L0024, ensuring compliance with the General Procurement Agreement (GPA). Key dates include the contract signing on 31st March 2026 for a value of £13,586,896.96 GBP.
