Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for CRARRV Brake Light Kits, awarding a contract valued at £1,644,334.52 to Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land Limited. This contract falls under the electronic and electrical spare parts category for military vehicles, with the items to be delivered to the West Midlands in the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, following regulation 16 (1) (a) (ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts regulations 2011. The tender period concluded on 14th November 2025, with the contract expected to run from 4th December 2025 to 29th October 2027.

The direct award method utilised in this procurement process offers limited opportunities for business growth as the contract was awarded without prior publication. However, businesses specialising in electronic and electrical spare parts for military vehicles might find opportunities to subcontract or supply ancillary services or products to Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land Limited. Despite the non-suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, large businesses with technical capabilities in defence systems could potentially gain insights and network connections that could aid future endeavours with the Ministry of Defence and similar contracts in the defence sector.
