Following a prequalification of interested companies in May-June 2012 the DALO invited eight suppliers on 10 July to submit bids for 360 APCs with options ranging from 206 to 450 vehicles. The bids also include a 15-year framework agreement covering the support of the vehicles in service. The first APC is scheduled to be delivered in 2015
