This initiative falls under the NEPO 212 Framework specifically for Lot 9 - Highways and Transportation. The procurement process, identified by the title "Darlington Northern Link Road Design," was conducted using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to its classification as outside the scope of the directive.
