Categorised under education and training services, this contract strengthens opportunities in the services industry. Based in Basildon, the buying organisation opted for a direct procurement method due to requirements falling below the threshold, allowing for a streamlined process without competition. The award was documented on 20th July 2026, with the contract set to run from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027, valued at £18,000 gross.
