What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Science Division (SD) based at HSE's Science and Research Centre (HSE-SRC) invites competitive quotations for the supply of specialist conversions for two of their assets located at Harpur Hill, Buxton SK17 9JN.

The successful contractor must demonstrate proven expertise in EX/III vehicle conversions and have a thorough understanding of the relevant technical, safety, and compliance standards.
