Purchase of 3 Diesel Cars for Youth Transport Services

Organization seeks to procure 3 five-door diesel vehicles to replace existing hire vehicles and reduce long-term operational costs. The vehicles will be used for transporting young people to various appointments including family visits, healthcare, education, and recreational activities, as well as holiday trips across the country. Current hire vehicle arrangements incur frequent minor repairs with costs charged at premium rates by the hire company. Procurement of owned vehicles will provide better cost control, reduce repair expenses, and ensure reliable transportation for the organization's youth services program.
