This tender, currently in the planning stage, seeks to gather feedback on the emerging requirements for an asset management system that will monitor various FC assets, such as vehicles and equipment. Interested parties should note that the engagement ends on 18 September 2020, and all communication must be conducted electronically due to COVID-19 restrictions. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in inventory management software and fleet management services.
