The Defence Ministry canceled a tender to acquire 185 armored four-wheeled vehicles for Czech engineers. The value of the contract amounted to CZK 24.7 billion. The ministry cited economic circumstances as one of the reasons, according to data in the public procurement register. lidovky.cz ↗
The contract was among the largest planned equipment purchases for engineer units. The army wanted to acquire Bushmaster vehicles, which were intended to serve in engineer operations. However, the tender ended without a winner, and the ministry terminated it after years of preparation. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
The cancellation of the tender took place at the beginning of Defence Minister Jaromír Zůna's tenure. The contract was supposed to be the first major deal that the ministry would conclude under his leadership. The ministry must now decide whether and how it will address the army's need for armored vehicles for engineers. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
According to the published data, the ministry did not state any further procedure or a possible new purchase deadline. The cancellation of the contract thus means that the army will not obtain the planned 185 vehicles at this stage, and the delivery of the equipment will have to be addressed in another procedure or by other means.
