The process is categorised under consultancy services, with a focus on technical analysis, consultancy, and financial management services. The services are set to commence on 1 August 2026 and continue until 31 July 2030. The procurement location is London, UK, with a total value of £3,000,000. Key dates included the award announcement on 8 July 2026, with a standstill period ending on 20 July 2026.
