Notice Information

Notice Title

706439450 - Ships Protective Systems (SPS) Cathodic Protection and Active Shaft Grounding In-Service Support (ISS)

Notice Description

The Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Maritime Combat Systems (MCS) Underwater and Electronic Warfare (UEW) team is responsible for providing in-service support (ISS) to Ships Protective Systems (SPS) equipment across the Royal Navy (RN) Fleet and Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) direct to Platform teams and front-line units. As part of this in-service support Cathodic Protection (CP) and Active Shaft Grounding (ASG) are two groups of equipment used in SPS; a. CP prevents hull and component corrosion by using sacrificial anodes and/or impressed current systems. Corrosion can reduce the safety and reliability of ships' structures and components. The deterioration of these structures causes higher maintenance costs, early system failures, or an overall shortened service life. b. ASG protects the propeller components against corrosion by grounding the static electricity, generated by the turning propeller, to the hull. It is anticipated the contract duration will be five (5) years with two (2) option years (1+1). Any potential bidder may be required to provide for an example the following services: Core Activities The Contractor shall provide the following in-service support elements: - System Design Authority Management - Project Management - Quality Management - Risk Management - Health, Safety & Environmental Management - Obsolescence Management - Configuration Management - Software Support - Supply Chain management and reporting - Equipment Upkeep Management - Post Design Services - Technical Support Supply Support - Non-Core - Supply Support Activities - Single item ownership - Support and Test Equipment - Accounting Classification - Supply of stock - Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transport Equipment Upkeep Management - Non-Core - Repair and Refurbishment of Articles - Testing - Calibration - Disposal Post Design and Technical Services - Non-Core - Post Design Services - Technical Services - Task Initiation - Contractors on Deployed Operations (CONDO)
