Notice Description

This is a calling notice for the Land Mobility Programme Team (LMP) Early Market Engagement (EME) for the Light Mobility Vehicle Project (LMV).

Due to the Authority’s capacity to review industry responses, the Authority reserves the right to refuse a request to partake in both parts of this engagement.
