Emergency Procurement: Supply of special purpose vehicles and construction vehicles to Ukraine

New clarification added: Dear Customer,We also kindly request clarification regarding several items in the equipment specification for Lot No. 1.3.8 Hydraulic station: capacity minimum 30 l/min, pressure - minimum 140 bar - 1 pcThe technical requirements for the hydraulic power unit specify only the minimum flow rate (30 l/min) and operating pressure (140 bar), but do not include the following essential parameters:Type of drive: gasoline engine, diesel engine, or power take-off (PTO) drive from the vehicle?Engine power (hp or kW).Weight and overall dimensions of the unit, for assessing installation and transportation feasibility.3.9 Hydraulic slurry pump with minimum capacity 100 m³/hour at specified head (to be declared by bidder), compatible with the installed hydraulic system, complete with a pressure hose at least 20 m long with a connection diameter of 3 inches - 1 pc. Bidder shall provide hydraulic power requirement and confirmation of system compatibility.There are several ambiguous statements in the requirements for the slurry pump:“Capacity 100 m³/h at the specified head (to be declared by the bidder)” — it is unclear what exact head is meant. Head (lifting height in meters) is a key pump characteristic.Should the Customer specify the required head in the technical specification, while the bidder confirms compliance?At present, the wording reads as if the bidder sets the requirement for itself.“The bidder shall provide hydraulic power requirement” — this wording is not logical. Requirements for the equipment should be established by the Customer, while the bidder confirms compliance or states the actual characteristics.A more correct wording would be: “The bidder shall specify the required hydraulic fluid flow and pressure for pump operation and confirm compatibility with the hydraulic power unit included in the set.”In practice, it should be sufficient simply to confirm compatibility with the hydraulic power unit.Also, the following critical parameters for a slurry pump are not specified: the maximum size of solids the pump can pass, and the material of the pump casing.3.10 Hydraulic angle grinder compatible with vehicle hydraulic system and power unit (flow rate 30 L/min, 140 bar), suitable for 230 mm cutting discs, equipped with protective guard and dead-man safety control. 1 pc. Bidder shall confirm hydraulic flow and pressure compatibility.The wording “compatible with the vehicle hydraulic system” creates confusion:Clause 3.8 specifies a separate hydraulic power unit. If it is intended to be the hydraulic power source for all tools included in the set, then the grinder should be compatible specifically with that unit (in terms of flow and pressure), rather than with some other “vehicle hydraulic system”.If the standard hydraulic system of the chassis is intended to be used, then its parameters (flow and pressure) should be specified in the technical specification.We kindly request clarification whether all hydraulic tools included in the set (pump, grinder, fan) are intended to operate from one common hydraulic power unit under clause 3.8.Dear BidderThank you for your request. Please find the answers below.Lot 1. Clause 3.8. The requirements specify the generic technical characteristics of the required equipment. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Lot 1. Clause 3.9. The requirements specify the generic technical characteristics of the required equipment. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Lot 1. Clause 3.10. The “power unit” refers to the “Hydraulic station” specified in Clause 3.8. All hydraulic tools included in the set (pump, grinder, fan) are intended to operate from one common hydraulic power unit under clause 3.8.Thank you. 

New clarification added: Thank you for your thorough review of our queries. We kindly ask you to consider ththree remaining points that are still unclear to us:1. The initial wording of Clauses 2.10 and 2.12 was as follows:2.10 - Front overhang angle, degrees - within 25-30 degrees2.12 - Rear overhang angle, degrees - no less than 13 degrees. Following the latest revision (Rev.2), the amendments introduced are as follows: Clause 2.10For item 1. Front overhang angle, degrees - within 25-30 degrees. Rear overhang angle, degrees - no less than 13 degrees.Clause 2.12For item 2. Front overhang angle, degrees - within 25-30 degrees. Rear overhang angle, degrees - no less than 13 degrees. However, in practice, no actual changes have been made, as the requirements remain identical for both Item 1 and Item 2.We would like to reiterate our original request:Clause 2.10As a rule, the values specified in Clause 2.10 are typically achievable only for vehicles with a 4×4 drivetrain and are not attainable for 4×2 vehicles, regardless of the manufacturer.Accordingly, we kindly request the following amendment to Clause 2.10:Front overhang angle, degrees: for Item 1 – not less than 13 degrees, for Item 2 - within 25-30 degrees Clause 2.12Similarly, the values specified in Clause 2.12 are generally applicable only to 4×4 vehicles and are not achievable for 4×2 vehicles, irrespective of the brand.Therefore, including for the purpose of increasing competition, we kindly request the following amendment to Clause 2.12:Front overhang angle, degrees: for Item 1 – not less than 9 degrees, for Item 2 - not less than 11 degrees We kindly ask you to reconsider this matter, as it appears to be a simple clerical error. If this is not the case, we would like to highlight that, to the best of our knowledge, there are no 4×2 trucks capable of achieving a front approach angle of 25–30 degrees.Even if such a vehicle exists from a single manufacturer, maintaining this requirement would effectively exclude all other potential participants, which may raise concerns regarding the transparency and competitiveness of the tender process. 2. Following the amendments to Clause 3.10, it now states:“Hydraulic angle grinder compatible with vehicle hydraulic system and power unit.”To avoid any Incorrect interpretation, we kindly request clarification whether the term “power unit” refers to the “Hydraulic station” specified in Clause 3.8. 3. Question regarding Clause 2.8 (ground clearance requirement of 240 mm):The requirement specifies a ground clearance of 240 mm regardless of the wheel configuration. However, if the payload requirements are reduced, the gross vehicle weight is also reduced, particularly for vehicles with a 4×2 configuration.As a result, vehicles with lower gross weight are typically equipped with tyres of a smaller radius, which directly affects ground clearance and is not dependent on the chassis manufacturer.Therefore, the question arises whether the same ground clearance requirement should indeed apply equally to both 4×2 and 4×4 vehicles, or whether a lower ground clearance could be acceptable for 4×2 vehicles.It should be noted that achieving a ground clearance of 240 mm on a 4×2 vehicle is generally possible only through the use of non-standard tyres, which would lead to higher operating costs and reduced availability for the end user during its use.While there is no issue in supplying such tyres from the factory, this approach may create unnecessary difficulties and additional costs for the end user in the long term.Dear BidderThank you for your request. Please find the answers below.Lot 1. Clause 2.10. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Lot 1. Clause 2.12. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Lot 1. Clause 3.10. The “power unit” refers to the “Hydraulic station” specified in Clause 3.8.Lot 1. Clause 2.8. “Ground clearance (clearance) mm  - at least 240 mm” is applicable to both items of the lot (item 1 and 2).Thank you.

New clarification added: Dear Customer,Please take into consideration several proposals regarding the technical specification for Lot No. 1:Clause 2.2.2 Vehicle dimensions (LxWxH), mm for a vehicle with a 4x2 wheel formula: not more than 8000x2400x3400 (applies to the completed vehicle without winch). Vehicle dimensions (LxWxH), mm for a vehicle with a 4x4 wheel formula: not more than 8000x2400x3400 (applies to the completed vehicle with winch).If the height of the completed vehicle is limited to 3400 mm, the internal height inside the van will be approximately 1700 mm, which will be very inconvenient for the people who will travel and work there, taking into account that some work inside the van will be carried out while standing. In view of this, we kindly request increasing the permissible vehicle height to 3700 mm. (Ukrainian legislation allows a vehicle height of up to 4000 mm.)Clause 2.16.2 External cladding - cold-rolled steel, thickness not less than 2.0 mmAs of today, there are many more advanced materials for body manufacturing in addition to painted steel, which may still be subject to corrosion over time. We kindly request expanding the list and allowing the offering of external cladding made of metal composite panels or special reinforced automotive plastic with a thickness of 2 mm. These materials are more technologically advanced and more resistant to external impact, due to which vans made from them can be operated for a significantly longer period.Clause 2.20.2.2 - Hydraulic winch for technological work, front-mounted, tractive force not less than 9000 kg, cable length not less than 30 m, Cable diameter not less than 11 mm.We kindly request clarification whether a hydraulic winch is specifically required. With this tractive force, electric winches are available, which are significantly less expensive and easier to maintain.Dear BidderThank you for your request. Please find the answers below.Lot 1. Clause 2.2.2. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Lot 1. Clause 2.16.2. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Lot 1. Clause 2.20.2.2. Requirements can not be amended and remain unchanged.Thank you.

New clarification added: Dear Sirs,We hope this message finds you well.Following our review of the tender documentation, we would like to seek clarification on two points regarding this RFQ with reference RFQ/2026/61644.1. IncotermsThe current request specifies delivery under DDP conditions. However, considering the operational context and the fact that we do not have a local presence in Ukraine, providing a compliant and competitive DDP offer presents significant logistical and regulatory challenges on our side.In this regard, we would like to inquire whether it would be acceptable to submit our quotation under EXW (Ex Works) conditions as an alternative. This would enable us to ensure a more reliable and efficient execution of the supply scope.Furthermore, based on our current stock availability and supply chain capabilities, we can confirm that:Lot 1, Lot 3, and Lot 4 can be supplied directly from stock or with very short lead times under EXW conditions.2. Quotation CurrencyWe also note that the RFQ indicates USD as the reference currency. We would like to ask whether it would be acceptable to submit our quotation in EUR, given that our procurement and cost structure are primarily Euro-based.We remain, of course, open to aligning with any required currency for contract award purposes, if needed.We remain fully committed to supporting this tender and delivering a competitive and responsive offer. We believe that alignment on these points will allow us to submit the most accurate and efficient proposal.We kindly ask for your guidance on both matters and whether EXW and EUR submissions would be considered acceptable within this process.Thank you in advance for your clarification.Dear BidderThank you for your request. Please find the answers below.As specified in the RFQ requirements (Delivery Requirements under Section II Schedule of Requirements) and also RFQ Particulars (Duties and taxes section) “All quotations shall be submitted incl. VAT and all applicable taxes as well as customs duties, excise duties and any other expenses needed to meet the delivery requirement DDP Ukraine Incoterms. The project within which this RfQ is conducted is not tax exempt. The bidders which are non-residents and don’t have an official presence in Ukraine  shall ensure due partnership with an entity  which has an official presence in Ukraine and can provide logistical and customs clearance services  for the delivery of the goods, customs clearance of the goods in Ukraine and payment of all required duties and taxes. The bidder will be responsible for covering the demurrage costs, if any”. These are mandatory requirements and can not be changed.As specified in the RFQ Particulars (Quotation currency(ies) section) the quotations must be submitted in USD. This is a mandatory requirement and can not be changed.Thank you.

New clarification added: Please clarify the following:To Lot 3. Concrete mixer truck - 1 PCSClause 1.15.2As vehicles to be proposed under this tender will have bodies manufactured in accordance with the tender requirements, such vehicles cannot have a pre-issued Certificate of Conformity for the completed vehicle.Therefore, we kindly request to amend Clause 1.15.2 as follows:A sample of Certificate of conformity with Ukrainian standards (DSTU 3649, EN 12609 (or equivalent internationally recognized standard).Clause 1.16.4The supplier cannot provide a vehicle registration certificate (technical passport) together with the vehicles, as the documents listed in Clause 1.16.4 are specifically required to enable the final beneficiary to register the vehicles with the Service Centres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and obtain the vehicle technical passport issued in their name.Therefore, we kindly request to amend this clause as follows:Complete set of documents required for registering a vehicle with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including but not limited to: certificate of conformity, customs declaration, proof of payment of applicable taxes and fees and tripartite contract between UNOPS, the supplier, and PU “KhTM” (beneficiary).Clause 2.8In order to broaden the pool of potential participants in this tender, we kindly request to amend Clause 2.8 as follows:Transmission type: mechanical with parallel power flow and internal divider or automated transmission with manual gear selection capability.Justification:At present, the vast majority of European chassis manufacturers supply trucks exclusively with automated transmissions, as this:•            improves road safety (the driver is less distracted from driving);•            reduces the risk of accidents by preventing incorrect gear selection in emergency situations;•            increases the service life of the engine and transmission due to optimised gear shifting and elimination of human error;•            reduces fuel consumption and, consequently, emissions of exhaust gases and particulate matter (due to optimised gear shifting);•            improves driver comfort and reduces fatigue, which directly impacts operational efficiency.Clause 2.14.2In order to broaden the pool of potential participants, we kindly request to amend Clause 2.14.2 as follows:Front brakes – disc; rear brakes – drum or disc type.Justification:All European chassis manufacturers currently offer either disc or drum braking systems. None of the European manufacturers have the technical capability to supply vehicles with disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear in the configuration currently required.Maintaining the current requirement would effectively prevent any European chassis manufacturer from submitting a compliant offer.Clause 2.16.3In order to broaden the pool of potential participants, we kindly request to amend Clause 2.16.3 as follows:Towing forks – 2 units or a front central towing pin – 1 unit.Justification:Some European chassis manufacturers specialising in vehicles for heavy-duty applications provide an integrated, non-removable front central towing device, built into the front bumper and chassis frame members.Such a solution is specifically designed for demanding operating conditions and offers significantly improved towing capacity and load distribution due to its central positioning, compared to conventional towing forks.Dear Bidder,Thank you for your request.

The requirements are now amended to be read as follows: “Emission standard: not lower than Tier 2 (or equivalent).”Please check the amended document RFQ_Section_II_Schedule of requirements_Special purpose and construction vehicles_RFQ_2026_61644_rev1 in the Documents section.Thank you.

New clarification added: Dear Procurement Team,Having carefully reviewed the tender documentation for the supply of special purpose and construction vehicles to Ukraine, we would like to respectfully request an amendment to the technical requirements for Lot 2. Full-rotation wheeled excavator.Specifically, we request an amendment to Item 1.1.3, which currently states: "Emission standard: not lower than EU Stage V (or equivalent UNECE R96 / EPA Tier 4 Final)".We propose amending this requirement to: "Emission standard: not lower than Tier 2 (or equivalent)".Justification for our request:Contradiction with the specified reference model: The general description for Lot 2 states that the required machinery is a "JCB JS175W-T2 or equivalent brand/model". The index "T2" in the name of this specific JCB model officially indicates that the machine is equipped with a Tier 2 emission standard engine. Therefore, the requirement for an EU Stage V / Tier 4 Final standard directly contradicts the specifications of the exact model you provided as a baseline reference for this procurement.Fuel quality and operational realities: High-tier emission engines (EU Stage V / Tier 4 Final) are highly sensitive to fuel quality and strictly require ultra-low sulfur diesel, as well as an uninterrupted supply of AdBlue/DEF reagent. Under the current conditions in Ukraine, guaranteeing the constant availability of reference-quality fuel across all regions is extremely difficult. Operating Stage V engines on standard or lower-quality fuel will inevitably lead to rapid failures of the fuel injection systems and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems (DPF/SCR), resulting in severe machinery downtime and voided warranties. Conversely, Tier 2 engines are significantly more robust, reliable, and well-adapted to the actual operating and fuel conditions in Ukraine.Ukrainian Legislative Norms: Currently, Ukrainian legislation does not impose any regulations regarding the emission standards for the specialised (construction) machinery.Considering the above, amending the emission standard to Tier 2 will:Ensure that the technical requirements logically align with your chosen reference model (JCB JS175W-T2).Guarantee the reliable, uninterrupted operation of the machinery under real-world conditions in Ukraine, eliminating the high risk of premature breakdowns due to fuel quality issues.Expand the pool of eligible bidders, ultimately ensuring a more competitive and cost-effective procurement process for UNOPS.We would highly appreciate your consideration of our request and the subsequent adjustment of the tender documentation.Dear Bidder,Thank you for your request. The requirements under clause 1.1.3 of the Section II Schedule of Requirements for lot 2 will be amended to be read as follows: “Emission standard: not lower than Tier 2 (or equivalent)”.Thank you.

New clarification added: We kindly ask you to provide clarifications regarding certain provisions of the technical requirements for Lot No. 1 (emergency repair workshops).With regard to item 1.1.2 “Emission standard: not lower than EURO 6”, we kindly ask you to consider the possibility of extending this requirement and wording it as follows: “ Emission standard: not lower than EURO 5”, since the legislation of Ukraine provides for the possibility of certification and registration of truck vehicles with EURO 5 engines until 01 January 2027. We would also like to note that EURO 5 engines are significantly simpler and less costly to maintain compared to EURO 6 engines.Regarding item 2.2.1 “Load capacity: not less than 7 000 kg”, we kindly ask you to clarify whether this requirement applies to the base chassis or to the completed vehicle, including the body and the crane-manipulator.Regarding item 2.2.2 “Vehicle dimensions (LxWxH), mm: not more than 8000x2400x3400”, we also kindly ask you to clarify whether this requirement applies to the base chassis or to the completed vehicle, including the body and the crane-manipulator.We would also kindly ask you to provide clarification regarding the following technical requirements:•    2.7 – Wheelbase: not more than 3 750 mm.•    2.11 – Rear overhang - no more than 2000 mm.•    2.14 – Capacity: at least 6 passengers (not including driver);•    2.16.1 – Welded frame, isothermal two-section, minimum 5600x2300x2000 mm.•    2.16.4 – The interior compartment must have at least 5 fixed seats equipped with seat belts.These requirements are interdependent; however, in our opinion, in the wording provided they cannot technically be implemented within one vehicle. With a wheelbase of no more than 3,750 mm and a rear overhang of no more than 2,000 mm, it is possible to install a body with an approximate length of no more than 5,300 mm only if a single-row cab with a capacity of 1–2 passengers is used. If, however, a cab with a capacity of at least 6 passengers is used while maintaining the same wheelbase and rear overhang parameters, the available frame mounting length for the body is reduced by approximately another 1,500 mm. Accordingly, the available body length would be no more than approximately 4 m, which does not comply with the requirement for a body of at least 5600 mm in length.In addition, item 2.16.4 states that the internal van compartment shall be equipped with at least 5 fixed seats. In this regard, we kindly ask you to clarify whether this requirement duplicates the cab capacity requirement, and to clearly specify the total number of seating places in the vehicle and where these seats should be located.Dear Bidder,Thank you for your request.
