Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a significant contract to Rolls-Royce Power Engineering plc for the provision of spares, repairs, and post-design technical services for electrical and control systems (MCAS) used in naval ships and submarines. This procurement, categorised under the CPV code 35522000 for electronic and electrical spare parts for warships, falls within the goods industry category and geographically focuses on the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £7,772,523.25, covers a period from 20 March 2023 to 31 March 2030. The procurement method followed a single tender action due to the proprietary nature of the requirement, and the contracting process has been completed.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply, repair, and maintenance of military electronic systems. Given the specific requirements related to the control and monitoring systems of naval ships, companies specialising in high-tech military and defence equipment would be well-suited to compete in future contracts of a similar nature. While the awarded contract was a single tender, businesses with unique capabilities in hardware and software solutions for military applications, obsolescence management, and technical support for complex systems like MCAS can find a foothold in this field and leverage their expertise for sustained business growth.
