## Summary

The Department for Infrastructure in Belfast has completed the procurement process for the provision of LGV drivers for winter service duties under contract ID 5958651. This procurement, which utilised an open procedure, is aimed at providing additional drivers alongside existing staff to cover winter seasons from 2025 to 2030.
