Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured electronic and electrical spare parts for warships under SPA706, a call-off from its Multi Supplier Framework Agreement for maritime spares. The requirement supports the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries Team within Defence Equipment Support, which provides global support to Royal Navy platforms. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, with the procurement associated with MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol. The work is classified as goods and concerns naval systems spares. It forms part of a wider framework used to maintain and support the Royal Navy’s fleet, whose size may change during the life of the support arrangement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement established under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The award was made to GE Energy Power Conversion UK Ltd on 13 July 2026. The awarded value is £1, although the call-off price was withheld in the procurement description because of commercial sensitivities and the continuing competitive nature of the framework. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 29 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026 at 22:59 British Summer Time. The framework supports call-off competitions, with contracts awarded to 23 suppliers; this procurement concerned SPA706.

For a supplier that did not win, this award signals demand from the Ministry of Defence for specialist maritime spares supporting Royal Navy power, propulsion and auxiliary systems. Relevant competitors would need capability in electronic and electrical spare parts for warships, together with the operational capacity to support naval platforms across the United Kingdom and international locations. The requirement suits suppliers able to work through a multi-supplier framework and compete in repeated mini-competitions rather than relying on a single procurement event. The published procurement identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier was a large company. Credibility would therefore depend on dependable supply, technical competence and defence-sector delivery capacity.
