## Summary

The procurement process for the "Due Diligence Reports Framework" was conducted by the Natural History Museum, a non-departmental public body based in London, sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

The contract, valued at £240,000, was signed on 23rd June 2025, and will last for an initial period of two years with options for extension.
