Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, acting through Babcock Land Defence Limited, has completed the award stage of a selective procurement process under a restricted procedure for the repair of engines, engine groups, powerpacks and associated assemblies. The contract, valued at £14,400,000, will span from 24th November 2025 to 23rd November 2028, with potential extensions. This procurement pertains to the services industry sector, specifically maintenance and repair services related to vehicle parts. The services will be delivered in the West Midlands, with the postal code TF2 8JT as a reference location. The procurement process concluded on 21st July 2025, with the award published on 23rd December 2025.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle maintenance and repair services, particularly those focusing on military vehicles such as Land Rovers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are suitable to compete in this sector, given the contract's preference for such entities. The awarded contract to Caterpillar Shrewsbury Limited demonstrates the appeal for businesses capable of handling large-scale projects with a value of £14.4 million, encouraging similar companies to engage in future procurements for governmental defence maintenance projects.
