Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured maritime post-design and technical support services for Royal Naval platforms, focused on logistics under Lot 5 of its Post Design and Technical Services arrangement. The requirement supports the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team within Defence Equipment Support, which provides global support to the Royal Navy. The service category is technical support services (CPV 71356300), within the wider services market. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The procurement sits within a wider framework used to support naval platforms through an established group of suppliers.

This procurement has been awarded following a restricted procedure above the threshold under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The award decision was made on 9 July 2026, with Scott Aerospace Ltd selected for a contract valued at £29,442. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The underlying framework has 28 suppliers, with mini-competitions held during its life; this competition concerned the logistics requirement in Lot 5. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender submission deadline was 14 June 2026.

This award indicates demand for specialist logistics and technical support connected with Royal Naval platforms and the Ministry of Defence’s Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries function. Suppliers seeking to compete when a comparable requirement returns would need credible maritime post-design support capability, practical logistics expertise and the capacity to support naval equipment through an established supplier framework. The global delivery footprint means relevant experience of working across the United Kingdom and overseas locations would be useful. Businesses should also be prepared to participate through framework mini-competitions and to demonstrate that they can provide focused technical services for changing fleet requirements. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs shows that smaller specialist organisations may be relevant participants.
