Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency bought five specialist Argo Conquest Support Vehicles for its Coastguard Resources and Counter Pollution and Salvage teams. The requirement is for the supply of specialist vehicles, classified under CPV 34114000, supporting operational response and salvage-related activities. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world. The buyer is based in Southampton, England. This is a goods requirement rather than a works or services contract, focused on providing a defined fleet of specialist support vehicles for maritime and environmental response operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 July 2026 to GMP Drivercare Limited. The awarded contract value is £225,118.90. The contract period runs from 10 July 2026 to 6 February 2027. The submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 5pm. This was a selective call-off from the Government Commercial Agency Lot 3 framework for independent fleet management services under the Vehicle Lease, Fleet Management and Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes framework agreement RM6268. The award was made to a single supplier, with evaluation conducted through the framework call-off route. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows demand from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for a small fleet of specialist operational support vehicles serving Coastguard Resources and Counter Pollution and Salvage teams. Businesses positioned for similar work would need to supply suitable Argo Conquest vehicles or an equivalent specialist vehicle solution, understand the operational needs of maritime response and salvage teams, and manage delivery across potentially broad geographic coverage. Credibility also depends on access to the relevant fleet-management purchasing route, since this requirement was bought through a framework call-off rather than an open tender. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a suitably capable smaller business can deliver this type of vehicle supply requirement.
