The main procurement category is services, focusing on equal opportunities consultancy services under the industry classification CPV 98200000. The procurement process was conducted directly, without competition, as it was considered a "below threshold" activity under the UK's light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Newcastle Foodbank, serving the Newcastle Upon Tyne area, with the contract term commencing on 20th June 2025 and concluding on 30th May 2026.
