Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed the procurement process for the provision of three modified vehicles to deliver mobile frontline services. This contract, which falls under the "Welfare vehicles" industry category, involves a short-term hire for a 6-month test phase starting in December 2024 and ending in March 2025. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action below the threshold, amounting to GBP 60,393.70. The modified vehicles will be deployed across various geographies including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Europe, British Oversea Territories, Isle of Man, and other parts of the world. The vehicles will help extend DWP's face-to-face services to remote and hard-to-reach customers. The award was officially published on 8th January 2025, with the awarded supplier being Masters Promotional Vehicles, a large-scale business based in Kent.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle modification, hire services, and logistics, especially those small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can cater to bespoke operational needs. By participating in such contracts, businesses can gain exposure to large government projects and perhaps secure future long-term agreements. It is ideal for businesses experienced in creating tailored solutions for government departments, particularly in the transport and logistics sectors.
