The organisation requires a Managed Service Programme provider to manage contingent workers and support its capital investment programme. The tender, currently active, is in the tender stage with an end date for submissions on 2nd June 2025. Located in the United Kingdom, specifically around Glasgow, this procurement falls under the services category.
