About

The Ministry of Defence awarded a twenty-four-month contract to General Dynamics Land Systems UK to produce up to three Foxhound (FHD) vehicle Technical Demonstrator Platforms (TDP) and associated technical publications, with a contract value of AUD 19,800,000.

The TDPs will be used to assess whether the current in-service FHD fleet could be modified to extend its use beyond the current Out of Service Date (2030), to understand whether new build FHDs could meet the extant FHD requirement, and to ascertain the suitability of the FHD as a vehicle that may be procured to replenish other military vehicles that were Gifted in Kind to Ukraine.

The contract was placed using the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 (as amended) for Technical Reasons, as General Dynamics UK Ltd is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and Design Authority for the FHD platform.
