Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed the procurement process for the framework agreement titled "704399451-6 - MSS/142 MRO21-CAN" under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011. This tender, classified under CPV code 50640000 for the repair and maintenance services of warships, focuses on maritime maintenance, repair and overhaul provided by the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries (PPA) Team within Defence Equipment Support (DES). The framework, which supports the Royal Navy globally, includes call-off contracts with multiple suppliers and runs until 31 March 2031 with a maximum value of £317 million. The most recent mini-competition concluded with awards to Basetek Limited, CARWOOD MOTOR UNIT LTD, and Score Marine Ltd, and the contract spans from 18 October 2024 to 28 February 2025, with operations impacting various locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. Key dates include an initial end tender period of 4 October 2024 and the start date of 15 November 2024 for the framework contract.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in maritime maintenance, repair, and overhaul services. Companies with expertise in fluid, power, and lifting items will find valuable prospects in the call-off contracts awarded through regular mini-competitions. SMEs and VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the framework’s revealed inclusivity criteria. The use of a selective procurement method involving a restricted procedure above the threshold ensures that only qualified suppliers are chosen, fostering an environment conducive to competitive business growth within the defence sector. Businesses capable of meeting these stringent requirements will be well-positioned to secure lucrative deals and expand their reach within the MOD’s substantial supply chain framework.
