Summary of the contracting process

London Gateway Port Limited sought 10 hydraulic trailers for delivery in the UK. The trailers are intended for heavy-duty port operations and must have a load capacity of 70 tonnes, a load bed length of 12,180 mm, ground clearance above 150 mm and steering angle greater than +/-13 degrees. The specification also requires central lubrication and solid tyres, with a maximum trailer dead weight of 11 tonnes. This is a purchase of specialist transport equipment rather than a trailer hire or general vehicle supply requirement. The stated delivery location is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement used a competitive flexible procedure, with supplier prequalification through Oracle SCM followed by shortlisting for the tender stage. The single lot required economic and technical selection criteria; final evaluation weighted commercial cost at 60% and technical quality at 40%. Expressions of interest closed on 19 June 2025, and the planned contract period was 26 August 2025 to 26 August 2026. The recorded awards name Movella Oy at €1,206,000, dated 12 June 2026, and Terberg Benschop B.V. at €2,027,600, dated 23 September 2026. The Terberg award is marked active, but its linked contract was cancelled on 15 October 2026: the award notice had been published in error and the buyer said it would not enter into a contract under this procurement. A contract period of 16 October 2026 to 8 February 2028 is recorded for that award.

The requirement demonstrates demand from a port operator for high-capacity hydraulic trailers built to a defined operational specification. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need to demonstrate that their trailers can carry 70 tonnes while meeting the stated load-bed, clearance, steering, weight and equipment requirements. Technical compliance will matter alongside commercial price: technical quality accounted for 40% of the evaluation, with cost weighted at 60%. The process used prequalification and shortlisting, so credible suppliers need to be able to evidence both technical capability and economic standing at qualification stage. Two suppliers were named in award records, one a Finnish SME and the other a large Dutch manufacturer, indicating that the requirement attracted suppliers of different sizes and from outside the UK.
