The procurement involved the acquisition of a 14-seater van, hybrid SUV in Vientiane, Laos. The contract was awarded to Toyota Laothani Sole, Co., Ltd, a large enterprise in Laos, under a limited procurement method, reflecting a below-threshold competition approach. The contract commenced on 16th February 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, with an estimated value of £27,701.78.
