The Defence Equipment and Support, a public authority within the central government, is planning a procurement process under the title "ITQ58 European Requirement in Support of Project Phoenix II." This tender is set within the services industry category, specifically focusing on the repair, maintenance, and leasing of motor vehicles across Europe.
