The tender, initiated earlier in December 2025, was planned with key dates, such as submissions closing on 15th January 2026 and bid openings scheduled for 19th January 2026. Located in the UK region, specifically Glasgow, the contract is significant for the public order and safety sector. This tender offers substantial business opportunities for service providers skilled in vehicle recovery and roadside assistance. The open procurement method encourages participation from various businesses, particularly those capable of meeting quality and pricing criteria defined as 40% quality and 60% price. Large organisations like The AA have already been awarded the contract, but framework agreements allow businesses with similar capabilities to engage.
