The procurement process involves Babcock International Group PLC, acting on behalf of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, for the contract titled "Repair of X200 Transmissions". This tender falls under the industry category of "Repair and maintenance services of vehicle transmissions" and is located in the West Midlands, England.
