Lot 1 Status: cancelled

Lot 1 Has Options: Yes

Lot 1 Options: Alternative Propulsion System It is anticipated that the initial Call offs from this single supplier framework may be for Battery Electric Vehicles. However, during the course of the framework, future vehicle call offs may require an option for alternative zero emission propulsion systems, for example Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles. This is to capture any emerging technological developments and to meet legislative or other Net-Zero policy targets and therefore, the provision of Alternative Propulsion Systems is included within the published ‘Scope of Requirements’ for this tender.
