Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, UK, has completed a procurement process for the "Quad Core Support and PDS Contract," classified under fleet management, repair, and maintenance services. This is part of a limited tender initiated due to the technical requirements of maintaining operational efficacy in the vehicle fleet, specifically concerning Yamaha Quad Bikes, with the estimated contract value being £360,000 (including VAT). The award was made on 14 September 2021, to Yamaha Motor Europe N.V., with options extending the contract duration to 2030.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in fleet management and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in working with Yamaha's technology and systems. Given the contract's specific technical requirements, firms that possess the necessary design authority, manufacturing capabilities, or a deep understanding of safety-critical services related to fleet operations are well-positioned to compete. The focus on ongoing support and specialist services highlights a niche market for defence-related contractors and suppliers in the UK.
