This initiative falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of warships and is part of the Defence Equipment Support's support strategy. The process is currently at the award stage, having reached completion on 16th January 2026. This selective procurement, under the DSPCR 2011 regulations, employs a restricted procedure above threshold, and includes mini-competitions for call-off contracts.
