Request for Expressions of Interest
Pilot Phase – Leasing of Vehicles for Official Government Transport
Background
Government transport services are important in facilitating movement of personnel as well as materials and equipment required in the course of delivery of public services. At present individual Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) procure and manage their own vehicle fleet and transport services to facilitate public service delivery. This mode of delivery has often been accompanied by increasing costs of transport services without commensurate improvements in service delivery.
The primary objectives for leasing will be to provide official Government transport in a manner that improves and expands public service delivery, achieves significant cost reductions and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of Government operations.
