Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "RFE - Supported accommodation agency for child placement" was managed by Luton Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Luton, UK.

Initially, the procurement method was direct, classified as "Below threshold - without competition", and followed a "lightTouch" special regime.
