Summary of the contracting process

London Gateway Port Limited is procuring three rail-mounted gantry cranes for its port in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers turnkey design, manufacture, assembly, delivery to site, testing and commissioning of the cranes. This is a supply contract for port-handling equipment, classified as cranes (CPV 42414100). The buyer is London Gateway Port Limited, a private utility. The cranes are intended for rail-mounted use at the port; the published delivery location identifies the United Kingdom. The scope combines equipment supply with the engineering and commissioning work needed to bring all three cranes into operation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Künz GmbH on 19 October 2026. The recorded award is pending, with a scheduled signature milestone on 30 October 2026. The award value is €20,930,795 excluding tax (€25,116,945 including tax). The award period runs from 2 November 2026 to 2 November 2029. The procurement used a competitive flexible procedure with prequalification and a shortlist invited to tender. It was a single lot. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and commercial cost at 40%; economic and technical selection requirements were set out in the prequalification documents. The original expression-of-interest deadline was 5 May 2025. The contract payment terms link payments to agreed delivery milestones.

This award demonstrates demand from London Gateway Port for a supplier able to deliver a complete rail-mounted gantry crane package, rather than equipment alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show the capability to design and manufacture multiple large cranes, manage assembly and delivery to a UK port site, and carry out testing and commissioning. The prequalification stage and separate economic and technical selection requirements indicate that suppliers need both a technically capable delivery team and the financial capacity to undertake a substantial, integrated equipment contract. The evaluation placed greater weight on technical quality than commercial cost, so evidence of reliable engineering, installation and commissioning performance would be important alongside a competitive offer. The selected supplier, Künz GmbH, is a large crane supplier.
