Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Lurcher upgrade project was managed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, based in Salisbury, UK. The procurement process is classified under the defence and security regime and targeted at modifications to military vehicles previously converted to electric. The contract was awarded on 4th August 2025, following a direct procurement method due to its below-threshold requirement, meaning it was executed without competition. The contract has been completed and covers services in the category of repair, maintenance, and associated services of vehicles and related equipment. The contract runs until 3rd November 2025, with Electrogenic Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Oxford, being awarded for the implementation.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in vehicle engineering and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in electric vehicle modifications and defence applications. Companies focusing on innovative solutions in the automotive sector, especially with a niche in electric military vehicles, could find similar contracts enriching for their business portfolios. The procurement underlines the potential for SMEs in the defence sector to provide specialised services directly to government bodies such as the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, hence encouraging growth and innovation within the small business community in this industry.
