This Request for Proposals (RFP) is an open invitation to respondents to submit a Proposal to The Crown for the supply of a Class Medium Class 2 Truck Capability.

This procurement is for the supply of a minimum of 45 Class 2 trucks, Troop carrying (or personnel) pods, and full maintenance, training, and support services. This capability will replace the current aging Mercedes Benz Unimog truck fleet and will provide support to domestic Defence activities in camps and bases as well as Training and Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (HADR) activities. As such, the capability will need to meet requirements for cargo and personnel transportation across both formed and unformed roads.

The capability will be distributed across multiple camps and bases across New Zealand and so it is expected that support solutions will also be available across these regions. Respondents are to note that, subject to funding approval, future tranches are likely to purchase additional trucks and services with the successful supplier.

Please refer to attached documentation for more detail.

This tender has been awarded.

• Daimler Trucks AG - Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks, Daimler Truck South East Asia PTE. Ltd. 1 Gateway Drive, # 16-06 Westgate Tower, 608531, SINGAPORE

Further Award Information:
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) Garrison and Training Support (GATS) Vehicle Project procurement process, which sought the supply of a minimum of 45 Class 2 trucks, troop carrying (or personnel) pods for NZDF to meet and deliver a variety of domestic uses and roles, has now been completed.

The personnel pod requirement was decoupled from the procurement when it became clear that procuring the trucks and seating pods from a single manufacturer would not guarantee the best solution for New Zealand.

For the Medium Class 2 Truck MOD selected the Unimog U5023 Truck from Daimler Truck AG in Germany.
MOD is grateful for the time and effort of all respondents to this RFP.
