Summary of the contracting process

FCDO Services bought civilian armoured vehicles and spare parts. This is a vehicle supply requirement, covering both complete vehicles and parts for their maintenance or support. The buyer is FCDO Services, the organisation responsible for the purchase. The procurement identifies no delivery place, so the requirement is best matched by suppliers able to provide civilian armoured vehicles and associated spare parts for this buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Babcock Land Defence Limited on 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £989,364.05. It was a selective award under a framework agreement, with one lot. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 March 2034, with an option for the buyer to extend it by up to two years, to 31 March 2036. The available process details do not set out an evaluation basis.

The award demonstrates demand from FCDO Services for civilian armoured vehicles and spare parts through a framework agreement. Suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement would need to offer both the vehicles and the associated parts, and be equipped to support a long-term supply contract. Babcock Land Defence Limited was selected for this purchase, providing a clear example of the type of supplier that has secured the work. The opportunity is most relevant to established vehicle suppliers with a civilian armoured vehicle range and the capacity to supply the corresponding spares over an extended contract term. The procurement data does not identify specific technical standards, accreditations or experience requirements.
