This contract has been directly awarded to Halo Transfers Ltd, in line with a selective procurement method, by utilising a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £88,798.40, covers the provision of small motor vehicles for passenger transport, specifically targeting the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom.
