## Summary

The Huntingdonshire District Council is currently engaged in a tendering process for the inspection of hackney carriage and private hire vehicles, valued at £120,000. The procurement falls under the category of technical automobile inspection services and is being conducted through an open procedure. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their tenders by the deadline of 6 March 2019.
