According to the Defence and Security Procurement Law, the negotiated procedure needs to be carried out in two stages, of which the first stage, or the pre-selection of bidders, has now been completed.

“As well as promoting the tactical mobility of the Latvian Army, the 4×4 vehicles will play a major role in implementation of artillery, air defence and National Guard development projects.”

During the second stage of the negotiated procedure, selected bidders will be required to offer a detailed bid and proposed vehicles for testing.

Following this, a complete evaluation of contributions and testing of proposed vehicles will be carried out by the procurement committee in near-combat training conditions in order to verify the compliance of proposed vehicles with operational requirements of the Latvian National Armed Forces.
