Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level, has awarded a contract for a driver and vehicle service. The project is categorised under services within the industry classification for the hire of passenger cars with drivers. This contract, valued at £60,000, spans from 1st May 2025 to 30th September 2025. It is part of an initiative to bring the service in-house after several years of external arrangement.
