## Summary

Birmingham City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Market Engagement Event - MOT Testing." This initiative falls within the motor vehicles industry category and is taking place in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. A meet the buyer event will be held virtually on 25th January 2021, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, with an engagement end date scheduled for 24th January 2021. The Council is seeking to gather interest for a new framework for Vehicle Testing Stations to assist with MOT testing and re-tests, as legislation requires. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register their attendance by contacting the Council's representative via email.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle testing and maintenance services, particularly those interested in public sector contracts.

Attending the market engagement event will provide valuable insights into the procurement procedure and how to effectively submit proposals, making it a critical step for businesses looking to enhance their involvement in the public sector and secure new contracts.
