Request for Information, Abbey Wood Bristol, 10 January 2025: The Ministry of Defence has a requirement for the production, supply, in-service support and training for a Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV) as part of the Land Mobility Programme (LMP).
LMV will explore multiple options including delivery of a wheeled utility platform to modernise capability in roles currently filled by Land Rover and Pinzgauer with a Common Based Platform delivering warfighting roles across the Joint Force.
As part of this option analysis, the Authority is inviting industry to participate in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise in support of the development of our acquisition strategy. Specifically, we seek information from industry to help us:
- Establish the potential for an Off The Shelf (OTS) solution to meet the LMV requirement.
- Obtain a greater awareness of what the market can currently provide to inform the LMV requirement.
- To inform through life cost and cost of ownership.
- To potentially inform further pre market engagement activity.
This Request for Information has been issued to enable industry to receive the PME and to respond within a specific timeline.
¤ Next Steps ~ Any suppliers who have an interest in this PME should express an interest to: DES-LandMobilityProgramme-LightM[at]mod[dot]gov[dot]uk
