What is being bought
BFSAI operates a fleet of specialised heavy vehicles including buses, ambulances and gritters. to support operations at Mount Pleasant Complex (MPC). These vehicles have been procured as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) assets and, as such, do not benefit from the standard Defence Lines of Development (DLOD) support typically associated with UK white and green fleet assets.
To ensure continued operational output and vehicle availability, there is a requirement to establish a support contract. This contract will cover routine servicing and include an option for repairs, thereby maintaining the operational effectiveness of the BFSAI heavy vehicle fleet.
