The procurement process was completed on 2 July 2025, with the contract being signed on 3 July 2025. The project is situated in Marlow, Bucks, and involves a limited procurement method due to technical reasons, as the services can only be provided by the incumbent supplier, Chelton Limited, a large established firm known for its specialised expertise in this domain. This bridging contract spans from 2 July 2025 to 1 July 2026, with an optional extension until 1 July 2027.
