Sweden has set a bid deadline of 9 March for the re-run of its armoured wheeled vehicle (AWV) procurement contest. The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (Forsvarets Materielverk, or FMV) announced on 30 December that it is aiming to sign a contract for 113 AWVs, including an option for 113 additional vehicles, "during the later part of the second quarter of 2010".rnUnder the new request for proposals (RfP), FMV is looking to bring the AWVs into service "in the beginning of 2014". Under the previous contest - which was completed in June 2009 - FMV had targeted an in-service date of January 2014, meaning that the new procurement process will be around nine months shorter overall.
