Summary of the contracting process

London Gateway Port Limited is buying 10 roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) terminal tractors for port operations, in the tractors and road tractor units category. The vehicles are intended to move trailers around a RoRo terminal and must be right-hand drive, reach 40 km/h and have a gross combination weight above 95,000 kg. Required equipment includes preparation for hydraulic trailer operation at 200 bar, a rear axle capacity of 38,000 kg, a hydraulic lift/lower fifth wheel with 35,000 kg lifting capacity, and a rotating driver’s seat. The specification allows hybrid and/or non-road-emissions diesel trucks. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the listed delivery location in the East of England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Terberg Benschop B.V. The award is dated 23 September 2026, with a value of €2,027,600. The contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 8 February 2028. The original estimated value was £2.5 million excluding VAT (£3 million including VAT). It used an open competitive flexible procedure: suppliers were prequalified through Oracle SCM, then shortlisted for the tender stage. The qualification stage assessed economic and technical criteria. Tenders were evaluated on technical quality, weighted at 60%, and commercial cost, weighted at 40%. The single lot covers all 10 tractors. Expressions of interest and enquiries were due by 6 June 2025; the award decision period ended 26 August 2025.

For suppliers competing when London Gateway next buys this requirement, the key capability is delivering a fleet of specialist RoRo terminal tractors that meets the port’s demanding weight, hydraulic, axle and fifth-wheel requirements. Credible offerings need right-hand drive, 40 km/h capability, a rotating driver’s seat and hybrid and/or non-road-emissions diesel power. The award indicates that the buyer places greater weight on technical quality than commercial cost, so evidence of specification compliance and the operational suitability of the vehicles will be important alongside competitive pricing. Suppliers should also be prepared for economic and technical prequalification, followed by shortlisting before the tender stage, and should have the capacity to supply a 10-vehicle order for delivery in the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is a large specialist vehicle manufacturer.
