Clean Air Zone Procurement

V4 where responsible for the delivering a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) for Clean Air Zone. The Government set legal limits for pollution and Bristol developed a project team to deliver to introduce a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) to ensure Bristol meets those limits within the shortest possible time.
