The four-wheel-drive version of Force Protection’s Cougar protected patrol vehicle has emerged as the leading candidate for a British order covering 150 vehicles.(...)Several industry sources said the Cougar had topped a competition with the Rafael Golan, Thales Bushmaster and others. The vehicles have all been contenders in the U.S. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program.

The ability of the company to produce the vehicle may end up a sticking point, the story goes on to say.
Even with the Marines ordering fewer vehicles, Force Protection may not have the capacity to fill the British need in a timely fashion. That might open the door for a runnerup.
