Classified under the industry category of motor vehicles for the transport of fewer than 10 persons, this contract was set as a selective procurement method, executed via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commences on 14th October 2024 and is set to end on 31st July 2026, with the value of the contract amounting to GBP 89,626.8. Key operations will take place in the West Midlands region, highlighting Birmingham as the hub of service delivery.
