Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, situated in Bristol, England, has initiated a procurement process under the title "MRO - Maritime Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul," aiming to support the Royal Navy. This framework agreement, governed by DSPCR 2011 regulations, is designed to deliver maintenance and repair services for warships. Call-off contracts are awarded to suppliers via mini-competitions, with recent ones focusing on Marine Electrical Power items. The overarching contract, valued at a maximum of £317 million, spans globally, including the UK and its territories, and is set to expire on 31 March 2031. The procurement stage currently stands at completion, marking the status of awarded contracts as of 15 January 2026.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for both SMEs and VCSEs involved in maritime maintenance and engineering services. Companies specialising in repair and overhaul of naval ships, particularly those with experience in electrical power systems, will find this framework beneficial for long-term business growth. The selective procurement method, through a restricted procedure, underscores the competitive nature, offering a robust platform for growth through engagement in mini-competitions. This strategic government initiative encourages innovation and efficiency within the industry, making it an attractive prospect for skilled suppliers aiming to diversify or expand their market reach in the defence sector.
