## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, based in Lichfield, UK, has awarded a contract titled "Technical Support to the development of the Defence Water Services Programme Should Cost Model (SCM)" within the consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy industry. Classified under CPC code 71800000, this service contract involves technical expertise and cost estimation software by WRC.
