The organisation, located in Swindon, contracted Counterculture Partnership LLP, after a below-threshold open competition. The procurement falls under the business and management consultancy services category, marked by the CPV code 79400000, covering various UK regions. This contract spans from 2nd June 2025 to 30th September 2025, with a gross value of £17,940. Key dates include the contract signing on 30th May 2025.
