Which bikepacking bike on C2W scheme.

Having suddenly found myself with more free time on my hands, I'm looking to start bikepacking.
I'd prefer to do it on my employers Cycle2work scheme but this leaves me with limited choice, very limited.
The scheme allows me to buy from, Halfords, Tredz and Wheelies along with a list of partner stores in my local area.
So far, the only bike that looks anything like a bikepacking bike in any of these stores is the Genesis Longitude which is £200 over the the limit.
There doesn't seem to be much more choice.
I'm after a 27.5+
Any more suggestions?

Marin Pine Mountain?? The rigid model is the one I looked at before getting a Longitude.
It has fewer mount options than the Longitude though

Edit - 1x10 gearing on the Marin, if that makes a difference to you
Also Pinnacle Ramin from Evans if your scheme allows, again 1x10
