## Description
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE IS £434,018.40 (inc VAT) AWARDED TO OLDHAM ENGINEERING LIMITED.
This contract was originally advertised as a below-threshold procedure. However, the procurement process followed the principles and procedural steps of an above-threshold open procedure, including publication on the Find a Tender Service and full compliance with transparency and equal treatment obligations.

In recognition of this, and in line with best practice and procurement transparency, we held voluntarily applied an 8-day standstill period prior to contract award.
