This tender is seeking the hire of up to 12 modified vehicles for delivering frontline services. The procurement falls under the services category and is structured as an open procedure. The contract location is in London, with the contract managed from Caxton House, Tothill Street. Key dates include the end of the enquiry period on 17th September 2025, and the tender submission deadline on 6th October 2025. Contract awards are expected by 24th October 2025, and contracts will begin on 17th November 2025, running until 31st March 2026, with possible extensions.
