## Summary

Plymouth City Council has recently completed a procurement process for a "Temporary Bus Shelter Solution" project, involving the fabrication and installation of three temporary bus shelters using modified shipping containers. The procurement falls under the goods category and belongs to the industry classification for bus shelters. The project was directed by a public authority sub-central government entity, with the delivery locations planned across several UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKF, and others.

Significant dates include the signing of the contract on 10th February 2025, and its corresponding active period running from 12th February 2025 to 31st March 2026.
