Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process through a call-off from the Multi Supplier Framework Agreement, specifically SPA734, for the provision of maritime spares. Undertaken by the Defence Equipment Support’s Power, Propulsion, and Auxiliaries Team, this contract supports the Royal Navy with electronic and electrical spare parts for warships. The award was granted following competitive mini-competitions under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, effective from 27th July 2026 to 29th January 2027. The procurement method employed was selective tendering, with the contract period beginning shortly after the tender period closed on 14th July 2026. Delivery locations span the United Kingdom and various territories. The buyer is based at MOD Abbey Wood, Bristol.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in maritime spares and components, with Bastek, a Suffolk-based SME, already recognised as a supplier. Given the contract’s framework nature, consistent mini-competitions afford ongoing opportunities for participation, making it attractive for small and medium enterprises in the relevant industry. The framework's longevity and the potential for fluctuating fleet sizes provide a fertile ground for businesses strategically seeking to expand within defence supply chains. Companies capable of fulfilling specific technical requirements with competitive pricing will find this tender well-aligned with their growth ambitions.
