Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for Protected and Modified Civilian Profile Vehicles (PaMCPV), with Defence Equipment and Support managing the tender. This contract, valued at £76 million, focuses on motor vehicles as the primary industry category with a procurement method following a restricted procedure. The vehicles are intended for operations in various locations, such as the UK and abroad, to provide protected and discreet mobility. The agreement, which is now in the award stage, was signed on 1st October 2025, indicating the finalization of procurement activities.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in modifying commercial vehicles for protection and mission integration. Businesses in the motor vehicle industry, capable of providing innovative vehicle modifications like blast and ballistic protection or integrating mission systems, would find significant prospects. The opportunity to subcontract further enhances the scope for smaller business enterprises to engage in this extensive procurement framework. Engaging in this agreement with the MOD could lead to a steady stream of projects requiring varied modifications and adaptations for different operational requirements.

*For Transparency Purposes Only - Not a New Opportunity" Details of the original opportunity can be found at https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003740-2025 Contract Number 711646450 The MOD requires protected mobility vehicles for many of its tasks. This requirement is often met by bespoke overt military profile vehicles. However, there are situations where this is unsuitable due to the profile or nature of the task. Therefore, the MOD requires Protected and Modified Civilian Profile Vehicles (PaMCPV) to provide protected and discreet mobility. A Protected and Modified Civilian Profile Vehicle (PaMCPV) at its simplest level is defined as a commercial off the shelf (COTS) vehicle that has been modified to provide a degree of protection and have the potential to integrate mission systems. One of example of this would be a Civilian Armoured Vehicle (CAV). PaMCPV could include cars, 4x4, small vans or minibuses, and would provide discreet protected mobility on operations across the globe and in the UK. The specific requirements will be defined at each call-off stage. Examples of potential modifications include but not limited to: - Integrated blast and ballistic protection. The protection levels and coverage will be defined at each call off stage. - The integration of specified mission systems. This could include Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), communication systems, weapon mounts. - Modifying the base vehicle to meet mobility performance and capacity requirements of individual call-offs. The enduring in-service support for the PaMCPV procurement Framework Agreement will be out of the scope of this contract.
