## Summary

The Ministry of Justice purchased five electric tow tractors for its Sustainability Unit. This is a goods contract for tractor equipment, classified under CPV 16700000. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and elsewhere worldwide. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist equipment suppliers able to provide electric tow tractors for public-sector operations. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, based at Wellington Place in Leeds, England. The stated purpose is to support the Ministry’s Sustainability Unit through the purchase of five electrically powered towing vehicles, rather than a service, construction or infrastructure project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 10 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract was awarded to GGM Group Ltd on 10 August 2026 for £179,849. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 10 August 2027. The award is active, and the tender is marked complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the available procurement information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. This was a single requirement for five electric tow tractors, rather than a multi-lot procurement.

This award provides a clear indication of the Ministry of Justice’s demand for electrically powered towing equipment to support sustainability objectives. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would be manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist resellers with a credible range of electric tow tractors and the capacity to supply five units. Relevant strengths would include demonstrating vehicle suitability for operational environments, dependable delivery across the Ministry’s potential delivery locations, and the ability to support the equipment during its use. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller business can compete for this type of Ministry requirement. Suppliers already admitted to relevant frameworks, or able to secure framework access, would be particularly well positioned to use the same purchasing route.
