This public procurement falls under the industry category of "Mobile bridges," classified within the CPV code 34144300. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a contract notice, as KNDS Defence UK Limited is the sole manufacturer of the required components.

Key delivery locations include Telford, UK, with the Ministry of Defence serving as the main buying organisation.
