UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking vehicle fleet services in Bahrain for its white fleet. The requirement covers the provision of core fleet vehicles, spot-hire vehicles, vehicle maintenance and recovery services. The vehicle requirement includes all-terrain vehicles and motor vehicles transporting fewer than 10 people, alongside fleet management and fleet-support services. This is a service contract for organisations able to supply and operate a managed vehicle fleet in Bahrain, supporting Ministry of Defence activities there. The work involves both planned fleet provision and responsive hire, together with the maintenance and recovery arrangements needed to keep vehicles available and supported. The procurement is subject to the defence and security regime and is above the relevant threshold.

The procurement has reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submissions made via its DSP. Enquiries had to be submitted by 10 September 2026 at 23:59, and offers by 22 September 2026 at 23:59. The planned award decision date was 25 September 2026 at 23:59:59. The initial contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with two optional 12-month periods, allowing extension until 31 October 2029. The estimated value is £634,500 excluding VAT, or £705,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation uses a value-for-money formula, with economic and technical assessment; the full criteria are set out in DEFFORM47 Annex D.

This opportunity suits vehicle fleet operators and transport-service providers with the capability to supply a mixed white fleet in Bahrain, including all-terrain vehicles and vehicles for fewer than 10 people. Suppliers need to be able to provide both core fleet capacity and short-term or spot-hire vehicles, rather than only individual vehicle sales. The requirement also favours businesses with established vehicle maintenance, fleet-support and recovery operations, able to manage these services as an integrated provision. Experience of coordinating vehicle availability, servicing, breakdown response and recovery in Bahrain or a comparable overseas operating environment would be commercially relevant. Businesses will need the operational capacity to support a defence customer and to demonstrate economic and technical suitability under the DEFFORM47 evaluation process.
