Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based at MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for a framework agreement titled "PDaTS - Maritime Post Design and Technical Services". This contract, awarded under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, focuses on providing technical support services in the maritime sector. The procurement method utilised a selective approach via a restricted procedure, with call-off contracts awarded through mini-competitions involving 28 suppliers. The contract, valued at £216,832,000, spans various global delivery addresses including the UK and British Overseas Territories. The tender stage was concluded on 7 March 2025, with services commencing on 14 April 2025 and set to end on 30 June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support, particularly those capable of providing safety and environmental support activities within the naval sector. SMEs and VCSEs are considered eligible to participate in the framework, encouraging a diverse range of businesses to engage with the Ministry of Defence's needs. As large-scale operations such as the Royal Navy's fleet support are involved, businesses with expertise in maritime technical services stand to benefit. Furthermore, the framework arrangement may lead to future opportunities for growth with potential fluctuations in the size of the Royal Naval Fleet, demanding continuous expertise and solutions from capable suppliers.
