Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the procurement cost for the General Support Utility Platform.

The General Support Utility Platform (GSUP) is a project within the British Army’s Land Mobility Pipeline (formerly Protected Mobility Pipeline) Programme, to replace the ageing in-service Land Rover Wolf and Pinzgauer fleets of vehicles. The current Out of Service Date for both platforms is 2030, with the GSUP expected to be delivered from the mid-2020s.

The Army is currently determining the specific Land Fleet Requirement for the GSUP under Future Soldier. Therefore, disclosure of the provisional cost estimate at this stage could prove prejudicial to subsequent engagement with industry.
