This contract falls under the services industry category, focusing on fleet management, repair, and maintenance services. The location of performance includes various sites around the UK and also some overseas locations. The procurement method is selective, involving a restricted procedure. Key dates include the deadline for completion of the Dynamic Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (DPQQ) on 18 November 2024, with the planned contract award set for November 2025. The initial contract term is 5 years, with an option to extend for up to an additional 5 years, giving a total possible term of 10 years.
