Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Portsmouth, England, has initiated a planning stage for the project titled "RFI0037 - STATIC TRAINING VESSELS /HARBOUR TRAINING SHIPS (HTSs) IN SUPPORT OF PROJECT POWERFUL". This initiative falls under the industry category of Warships and associated parts. The project aims to establish a UK-based 'warship experience' and residential capability near water-borne activity facilities to support RN Cadet Forces and other Youth organisations. Key engagement end date to note is 11th September 2024. The procurement process is presently in the 'planning' stage, mainly focusing on gathering information and understanding market options through a Request for Information (RFI), rather than a direct tendering opportunity.

This RFI presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the defence or maritime sectors, particularly for those offering innovative solutions or emerging capabilities related to static training vessels or harbour training ships. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically noted as suitable to participate in this information-gathering phase, providing a platform to showcase their expertise and potential to contribute to a high-profile defence project. This could pave the way for future tender opportunities, enabling businesses to establish relationships with the Ministry of Defence and expand their footprint in the defence industry.
