Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured maritime post-design and technical services for Royal Naval platforms. The requirement covers Technical Support Products delivered through the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team within Defence Equipment Support, which provides global support to the Royal Navy. The services fall within technical support services (CPV 71356300) and are classified as services. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The wider requirement supports naval platforms and reflects the need to respond to changes in the size of the HM Naval Fleet.

This completed procurement was a mini-competition under an established framework awarded using a selective, above-threshold restricted procedure under the DSPCR 2011 regulations. Call-off contracts were awarded to 28 framework suppliers, with mini-competitions held during the framework’s life. The award decision was made on 9 July 2026 to BMT Limited for £181,966.55. The resulting contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 23 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 24 May 2026 at 23:59. The procurement record also gives a total value of £1. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a future requirement from the Ministry of Defence, credible competitors will need maritime engineering capability focused on post-design support and technical products for Royal Naval platforms. Relevant experience should include work across power, propulsion and auxiliary systems, with the ability to support a defence customer’s operational fleet rather than only deliver standalone design work. Suppliers should be able to operate across international locations and respond to changing fleet requirements, including variable demand as the naval fleet expands or contracts. The route to market is a framework-based mini-competition, so businesses would need to understand framework participation, call-off competitions and the evidence expected in a restricted defence procurement. The requirement is also presented as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
