Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by the Ministry of Defence for a project titled "704471450-MSS/143-PD2-021 CAN," which falls under the industry category of technical support services. This procurement is part of a broader framework agreement to support Royal Naval Platforms globally, managed by Defence Equipment Support (DES). The process had reached the award stage as of 22 January 2026. The contract framework is selective and follows a restricted procedure as per DSPCR 2011 regulations. The tender had a contract period starting from 3 December 2025, with an end date of 3 June 2026. The services are to be delivered across a wide geographical area, including British Overseas Territories, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The framework agreement's overall value is GBP 216,832,000.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in maritime technical support and services, particularly those with experience in supporting naval equipment. Given the framework's allowance for mini-competitions, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) have significant opportunities to engage and potentially expand their service reach. Large companies with existing expertise, similar to Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd, which is among the suppliers, would also find this procurement appealing for business growth. Participants must be prepared to deliver services globally, positioning well-suited enterprises to leverage this collaboration for expanded influence and enhanced technical service offerings.
