The Home Office, specifically the Border Force Procurement Team, has concluded a procurement process titled "Heavy Goods Vehicle Recovery & Detention Services" within the vehicle-fleet-support services industry (CPV code 50111110). 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.

Companies specialising in road transport services and possessing capabilities to recover and manage detained vehicles can leverage this contract to expand their service offerings and gain a steady revenue stream. 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. The procurement was conducted electronically, ensuring a streamlined process for interested participants.
