This procurement process, categorised under services, was initiated to provide vehicle recovery and detention services across all UK locations, including Northern Ireland. The process, conducted via a limited procurement method due to the absence of suitable tenders in the open procedure, reached the award stage with The Mansfield Group being assigned as the supplier. The contract, signed on 21st February 2025, is valued at £255,000 and includes an initial 24-month term with an option to extend for an additional 12 months.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), like The Mansfield Group, which won the contract, are particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders due to their agility and specialised expertise. The involvement of the Home Office also offers a reputable client, enhancing the business profile of the successful bidder.
