The award, finalised on 9th June 2025, is valued at £100,000 GBP, with the contract running through till the end of December 2025. This tender, conducted without competition due to its below-threshold status, is part of the services category under the procurement method 'direct,' guided by the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.
