## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Birmingham City Council involved the provision of a customised mobile library vehicle, under the industry category of specialist vehicles. Located in Birmingham, England, the procurement was part of the award stage by the date 19 August 2025. The buying organisation utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from the ESPO Specialist Vehicles - Framework Agreement 215_24, Lot 9.
