Competitive flexible procedure at selection stage. Requests to participate (procurement-specific questionnaire) were due in September 2026; the notice published two dates that did not agree (its structured deadline field and its changes block, which extended the PSQ deadline to 12:00 BST in September 2026). Bids closed; estimated award decision May 2027; no award on Find a Tender Service as at 24 September 2026.
Next step
[two deadlines published on the same notice: the structured 'deadline for requests to participate' field says 14 September 2026 12:00, the notice's own amendment text says the PSQ deadline is extended to 12:00 BST on 21 September 2026; both are shown as published and the later is treated as operative]
