This contract, identified under the code PURCON5083, has advanced to the Award stage and was concluded on 25th February 2026, with the contract period starting immediately afterwards on 26th February 2026 and extending to 31st July 2027. The contract, valued at £186,895 GBP, falls under the services category within the events industry and employs a procurement method described as "Below threshold - unknown," indicating smaller-scale procurement activities suitable for SMEs and similar entities.
