The British Transport Police Authority has completed a procurement process under the title "ARV Vehicle Conversion - Weapons Safes and Storage." This project falls under the security and defence industry category and is located in London. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with a planned contract period starting on 15th July 2026 and ending on 15th August 2026.
