Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has concluded the award phase for a tender titled "MSS/142 MRO083_CAN", which focuses on the maritime maintenance, repair, and overhaul services required by the Royal Navy. Public procurement for this service falls under the CPV code 50640000 specifically aimed at repair and maintenance of warships. Conducted through a selective restricted procedure, the procurement process adheres to DSPCR 2011 regulations. The overarching framework agreement, valued at up to £317 million, commenced on 19th September 2025 and extends through to 31st March 2031, aiming to support naval platforms globally, including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and potentially further afield.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in maritime maintenance services, particularly those capable of competing in mini-competitions under a framework agreement. While the initial call-off contract value remains undisclosed due to commercial sensitivities, the scale of the procurement indicates significant potential for business growth. Organisations that qualify under SME or VCSE categories may find themselves particularly well-positioned to engage, provided they can meet the stringent requirements set out by the Ministry of Defence. Additionally, the involvement of large enterprises such as Score Marine Ltd, already a supplier, suggests opportunities for collaboration or competition within the established supplier network.
