UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring spares for Yamaha Grizzly YFM450 quad bikes, classified as all-terrain vehicles (CPV 34113200). The requirement covers around 903 items, each identified by a NATO Stock Number and supplied in accordance with the relevant CSIS manufacturer’s part number. Babcock Land Defence Limited is acting as the Ministry’s agent, managing the procurement, contract compliance and performance monitoring. The spares will support the Ministry’s existing operational and strategic requirements for Yamaha quad bikes. The arrangement is a closed framework for goods, with the Authority retaining the right to add further items of a similar nature after award. The sole supplier selected is Yamaha Motor Europe NV Branch UK, based in Woking.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected through a direct award. Yamaha Motor Europe NV Branch UK was selected for a single-source contract because it holds the relevant intellectual property and exclusive UK distribution rights, and alternative or incompatible goods would create disproportionate technical difficulties. The awarded value is up to £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The contract period is 3 April 2027 to 2 April 2030, with two one-year extension options. The contract includes performance measures for on-time delivery, non-conforming deliveries and new-store rejects. A future signature milestone is scheduled for 3 April 2027. There is one completed lot.

This award demonstrates established Ministry of Defence demand for manufacturer-specific spares supporting Yamaha Grizzly YFM450 quad bikes at a substantial, multi-year scale. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need credible access to the required Yamaha parts, including the relevant intellectual property, UK distribution rights or an authorised supply route. They would also need to manage a catalogue of around 903 NATO Stock Number items and match manufacturer part-number requirements accurately. Operational credibility would depend on reliable defence supply-chain performance, consistent product conformity and the capacity to meet delivery commitments across a continuing support arrangement. Experience of supplying or maintaining Yamaha Grizzly YFM450 equipment, or of managing similarly controlled spares catalogues, would strengthen a competitor’s position when this requirement is next considered.
