The tender is classified under the transport services industry category and will operate within the UKF1 region, specifically in Derby, United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, utilising a dynamic market approach, with the legal basis outlined in the 2023/54 UKPGA legislation. This notice serves as a pipeline notification, indicating the council's intention to invite applications soon.
