This procurement was carried out in the region of the United Kingdom classed as UKK1, with a direct procurement method below the threshold, meaning it was executed without competition.

The contract was signed on 31 March 2025, and the service period began on 1 April 2025, concluding on 20 May 2025. The award stage of the process is now active, following its completion date on 12 September 2025.
