The process is currently in the award stage, having been completed on 21st October 2025. This direct award was executed under the CCS framework RM6237 due to time constraints and compatibility considerations, with the contract valued at £1,426,666.66 GBP.

Energy Efficient Solutions Group Ltd, a small or medium enterprise (SME), was awarded this contract, highlighting the Trust’s openness to collaborations with smaller scale businesses capable of meeting stringent on-boarding and quality criteria rapidly.
