Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, headquartered in Bristol, England, has completed a procurement process titled "704471450-MSS/143-PD2-026 CAN" within the technical support services industry category. This procurement, classified under CPV code 71356300, involved the award of a framework agreement for Post Design and Technical Services to Royal Naval Platforms, conducted under the DSPCR 2011 regulations. The selective procurement method followed a restricted procedure above the threshold, with the contract period scheduled from 2nd December 2025 to 2nd June 2027. The procurement supports global naval operations, potentially accommodating changes in fleet size, and covers diverse delivery locations, including the UK and other regions worldwide. The award stage was concluded on 28th November 2025, with the contract notice published on 27th January 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in technical support services for naval operations and platforms. SMEs and VCSEs are especially encouraged to participate, as the procurement is tailored to suit their capabilities. The framework agreement's nature allows for ongoing mini-competitions, creating multiple opportunities for suppliers to engage in call-off contracts. BMT Limited, as a large supplier, exemplifies the kind of organisations that successfully compete in this domain. Businesses with expertise in technical and maritime support services will find this procurement a valuable opportunity to expand their services globally and engage with a critical branch of the UK defence sector.
