The contract is worth €100 million and consists of a 30-month delivery phase followed by a 15-year support phase.
The Netherlands WTB programme has three distinct elements – Trucks, Trailers & Semi-Trailers and Physical Distribution Systems. The contract for the flatracks and containers is the largest of three separate parts to the Physical Distribution Systems.
The G3 Systems contract is for the provision of over 400 general purpose flatrack units and associated equipment, and 270 specialist containers for the storage and transportation of general stores, medicinal items, ammunition, POL & chemicals. The container sub-systems include power generation, HVAC CBRN filtration, medical refrigeration and equipment tracking & monitoring. There is also a contract option to increase the units delivered under the initial contract by up to 100%. Both the flatracks and containers are to be capable of worldwide deployment by all means of transport.
The project demonstrates true collaboration with G3 Systems’ established global supply chain, with a large part of the integration to be completed by European manufacturing partners in conjunction with G3 Systems programme management, project expertise, design and support services.
Nick Rose, Managing Director of G3 Systems said: “This is a momentous landmark in the history of G3 Systems, and I am incredibly proud that the hard work, dedication, professionalism and expertise we hold at G3 Systems has been recognised with this contract award, won in open competition. Clearly there is a tremendous amount of work to do and we have already bolstered our team in order to be ready to deliver in the 30-months delivery timeframe, whilst making sure we sustain and grow the remainder of our business.
“This has been a true team effort, which is a game changer for this organisation and one that will elevate our provision of deployable infrastructure to the next level. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make this happen.”
