Summary of the contracting process

The Canterbury City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Market Research Day for Direct Purchase of Waste, Recycling and Street Cleansing vehicles." This initiative focuses on the transport equipment industry, with a significant budget of £1,800,000. Interested firms must engage by the deadline of 6th November 2019 to secure an interview slot at the Market Research Day scheduled for 13th November 2019.

Engaging in this market research and attending the event could enable businesses to better tailor their bids to meet the Council's forthcoming requirements and specifications.
