Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, headquartered in Bristol, England, has concluded a procurement process titled "704471450-MSS/143-PD2-023 CAN" under the Defence Equipment Support (DES) initiative to provide Post Design and Technical Services to Royal Naval Platforms. This award, completed with a contract period from 15th December 2025 to 31st March 2026, falls under the industry category of Technical Support Services (CPV code 71356300). This procurement process was conducted using a restricted procedure, above the threshold, indicating a selective method. The procurement supports global locations, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The official award was announced on 22nd January 2026, with the contract's supporting framework allowing for mini-competitions during its lifespan.

This framework agreement offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the technical support services sector, to engage in providing crucial support to the Royal Navy. The Ministry of Defence's commitment to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) makes this an ideal opportunity for businesses of varying scales to partake. Organisations with capabilities in technical services can benefit from participating in ongoing mini-competitions, which could lead to further call-off contracts, fostering business growth through continuous collaboration with an influential public authority.
