  • Contract Summary

    Army Commercial, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (“MoD”), intends to procure 26 Track Width Mine Ploughs (“TWMP”) and 24 Main Battle Tank (“MBT”) Installation Kits. The contract will have an estimated value of £10,500,000.00 (ten million and five hundred thousand pounds) including VAT and be placed as a Supply contract. This procurement relates to replenishment of equipment that was Gifted in Kind (GiK) to Ukraine (UKR). This GiK activity has generated a capability gap in mobility support with minefield breaching equipment. There is no current equipment programme to replenish stocks of TWMP. The conflict in UKR has reinforced the requirement for organic mobility at the tactical level within Armoured Units and it is critical that this capability is replenished. Currently, TWMPs are primarily employed on the TITAN Close Support Bridging (CSB) vehicle; a limited fleet of prestige/high value manoeuvre support armoured engineering vehicles. TITAN is not part of the future modernised Armoured Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT). The TWMP capability will be required to endure to 2040 and beyond and the only platform in the Future Modernised ABCT currently compatible with the in-service TWMP is the Challenger (CR) Main Battle Tank (MBT). The ability to fit TWMP to CR MBT generates a capability that increases the lethality and survivability of not just the platform, but the wider ABCT. The proposed contract to Pearson will provide an ability for MBTs to intimately support deliberate minefield breaching operations and, more importantly, a means of self-extraction from high threat areas, at speed, rather than waiting for sparse specialist assets .
