Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence bought electronic and electrical spare parts for Royal Navy warships, under its maritime spares requirement. The Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team within Defence Equipment Support supports Royal Navy platforms globally, so the requirement serves naval vessels and their supporting operations. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, including the Ministry of Defence site at Abbey Wood in Bristol, as well as Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or works contract. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and concerns established systems spares used to maintain naval platforms.

This completed procurement was a selective call-off competition under the SPA734 multi-supplier framework agreement, using the Ministry of Defence’s framework call-off route. The award decision was made on 23 July 2026. Bastek was awarded the contract, with a recorded value of £1. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 29 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2026. The framework supports call-off competitions among 23 suppliers, with mini-competitions held throughout its life. The requirement was awarded under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The published description says the call-off price was withheld because of commercial sensitivities and the continuing competitive nature of the framework.

This award indicates continuing Ministry of Defence demand for reliable electronic and electrical spares for Royal Navy platforms, including supply that can support operations across the UK and overseas locations. A credible future competitor would need established access to maritime or naval systems spares, dependable sourcing and distribution arrangements, and the capacity to respond to call-off mini-competitions rather than relying on a single long-term order. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, so scale alone is not the defining barrier. Suppliers should be able to support global delivery, understand the operational importance of propulsion, power and auxiliary systems, and provide technically suitable replacement parts through a controlled framework-based procurement route.
