Summary of the contracting process

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has completed the procurement process for the "Supply of Transit Custom Trail," purchasing ten all-wheel-drive Transit Custom Trail vehicles. These vehicles will replace existing operational support vehicles and obsolete coastguard rescue vehicles, aiming to modernise the fleet with Euro 6 engines for improved environmental performance. The purchase, valued at £306,444, was facilitated through the Government Commercial Agency's framework agreement (RM6244) under the selective procurement method via a call-off. This contract commenced on 7 July 2026 and is slated to conclude on 6 January 2027. The main procurement category is motor vehicles, and the delivery addresses include regions such as the United Kingdom and other territories worldwide. The procurement award was made on 29 June 2026, with Ford Motor Company Limited selected as the supplier.

This tender demonstrates significant opportunities for businesses involved in the motor vehicles industry, particularly those specialising in the manufacturing or supply of heavy-duty, environmentally friendly vehicles. Companies capable of offering cutting-edge automotive technologies could benefit from participating in similar tenders due to the demand for modern, carbon-efficient solutions. This procurement favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing a platform for these businesses to expand their reach and capabilities by contributing to public sector projects. With the MCA seeking to modernise its fleet, suppliers positioned to provide innovative and sustainable vehicle solutions stand to gain contracts in future tenders.
