Latvia relaunches tactical vehicle procurement
The Latvian Ministry of Defence (MoD) is making another attempt to procure a fleet of tactical vehicles. This comes after the previous competition, which saw the selection of Sisu's GTP 4x4, had to be terminated due to the discovery of a number of irregularities in the evaluation process.
News of the new tender was released in early October 2019 after an evaluation of technical and tactical requirements of the country’s armed forces. It will lead to the procurement of an unspecified number of 4x4 and 6x6 tactical vehicles. The acquisition programme will be finalised through a government to government agreement.
