The Authority would be happy to consider company’s acting alone or working together in a partnering or joint venture arrangement.
Within a 12 month period it is estimated that a total of approximately 322 hire vehicles shall be required, although these figures may fluctuate in accordance with demand.
EOIs must clearly state which Lots a company is expressing an interest in and must contain details of your company to include the following information:
— Company point of contact details for future correspondence (e-mail, telephone, postal address, web site),
