This procurement is focused on the geographical area of Stirling, UKM72, with an ongoing contract period from 27th March 2023 to 26th March 2027. This tender has transitioned from the award phase, initiated by Midland Bluebird Limited, a large-scale supplier. The contract, valued at £1,985,156 GBP, was signed on 7th March 2023 and amended to include a one-year extension. This procurement process follows the legal guidelines of EU Directive 2014/24/EU (CELEX: 32014L0024).
