## Summary

Durham County Council has completed a procurement process aimed at establishing a framework for the supply of licensed vehicle plates and decals. This tender, classified under taxi services with an estimated value of £40,000, was conducted using a selective procurement method.

The procurement was initiated to fulfil requirements for both new and existing hackney carriage and private hire vehicles within the North East of England, with a tender submission deadline of 12th November 2019.

The awarded contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the signage and automotive sectors, particularly those specialising in the production of vehicle plates and decals.
