Notice Information

Notice Title

Purchase of Fleet Vehicle for British Embassy Manila

Notice Description

The British Embassy Manila intends to replace the current Discovery 5 with a new vehicle. Last fiscal year, the Starex was decommissioned and, due to limited availability of vans, was replaced with an SUV. As a result, the Post has been operating with only one van available for staff transport in Manila. For the current fiscal year, Post will be acquiring a replacement van for the Discovery 5, thereby restoring the fleet to two vans as previously maintained. The necessary budget has been approved, and suppliers with available stock have been identified.
