What the notice says

Salford City Council invites suitably qualified Suppliers to express their interest in the provision, implementation and support of a new Vehicle Management System (VMS) to replace the current SAP-based solution, which is reaching end of life in 2027. It is the intention to hold some Soft Market Testing (SMT) (preliminary market consultations) workshops to review the current supply market. The same information will be gathered from all Providers who wish to participate in the SMT.
