A supplier engagement event will take place on 26 January 2022, inviting interested suppliers to present their offerings prior to market engagement, with a future notice expected on 29 July 2022.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical services related to vehicle compliance and safety standards.
