Summary of the contracting process

Chemonics International, Inc., implementing the Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine Phase 2 project, is seeking cargo vans and associated conversion services. The requirement covers the supply of vans and their retrofitting with PZSA-3 armour protection. This is primarily a vehicle supply and specialist vehicle-conversion opportunity, classified under vans (CPV 34136000). The vehicles and retrofit work are to be delivered in Ukraine. The requirement is intended to support the project’s resilience-related activities and combines the provision of suitable base vehicles with the technical work needed to install the specified armour protection. Businesses involved in commercial vehicle supply, vehicle engineering, specialist fabrication or armoured vehicle conversion may therefore find the scope relevant.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. The tender was published on 4 August 2026, and offers were due by 18:00 on 21 August 2026. The contract period was set from 31 August 2026 to 1 December 2026. The stated procurement value is £1, although the requirement covers both cargo vans and their retrofitting with PZSA-3 armour protection. The procurement is categorised as goods. The opportunity is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender includes bidding documents, an evaluation-criteria document and a draft contract for suppliers to review when preparing their offers.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide cargo vans and complete specialist retrofit work to the required PZSA-3 armour-protection specification. Relevant businesses may include commercial vehicle dealers, fleet suppliers, vehicle manufacturers, engineering firms, fabricators and companies with experience in armoured or protected-vehicle conversion. Competitors will need to coordinate vehicle sourcing with technical modification, ensuring that the finished vehicles meet the stated protection requirement and can be delivered in Ukraine. The combined supply-and-services scope may suit an SME with its own conversion capability, as well as a vehicle supplier working with an experienced specialist subcontractor. Firms with dependable procurement, fabrication, quality-control and delivery capacity should assess the technical documents and draft contract carefully.
