Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is seeking to award a contract titled "Contract Finder Opportunity VTN" for the provision of In-Service Support of the Phalanx Close In Weapons System. This contract, valued at approximately £35.9 million, is set to be negotiated with Devonport Royal Dockyard Limited (DRDL) on a single source basis and spans a total contract period from 1st February 2023 to 31st January 2026, with an end date for the tender period of 30th November 2021. The procurement method employed is a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, classified under the industry category of repair and maintenance services for weapon systems, specifically in the South West of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in defence services and maintenance of weapon systems. As the MOD intends to negotiate directly with DRDL, there is potential for subcontracting opportunities for firms capable of delivering related support services or technological solutions. Companies that possess expertise in military systems, logistical support, or servicing weaponry would be well-suited to engage in this procurement process, thereby expanding their footprint in the defence sector.
