Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured in-service support for the Type 45 destroyer Integrated Navigation and Bridge System. This is a specialist military electronic systems repair and maintenance service, covering the systems’ ongoing support rather than the supply of general goods or construction works. Delivery is in the South West of England, with the buying organisation based at MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol. The requirement concerns naval platform technology and the operational support of integrated navigation and bridge equipment. It is therefore relevant to businesses working in defence electronics, naval systems, marine engineering support, systems maintenance or related technical services, particularly those able to work with Ministry of Defence requirements and equipment used on Type 45 destroyers.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a non-competitive single-source route, with the contract awarded to ANSCHUETZ UK LTD on 29 April 2026. The awarded value is £9,888,089, inclusive of the stated currency. The contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender submission deadline was 29 April 2026 at 12 noon. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for repair and maintenance of military electronic systems. ANSCHUETZ UK LTD is the selected supplier. The published outcome is therefore a completed award rather than an opportunity for further bids under this process. The arrangement covers the Type 45 Integrated Navigation and Bridge System in-service support requirement delivered in the South West.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a substantial Ministry of Defence requirement for sustained support of specialist naval electronic systems. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in integrated navigation and bridge systems, military electronics maintenance and the practical support of complex equipment in service on Type 45 destroyers. It would also need the engineering capability, technical staff and organisational capacity to provide continuing support across a multi-year defence contract, with delivery in the South West of England. Experience of working with defence customers, controlled technical environments, naval platforms and formal Ministry of Defence processes would strengthen a supplier’s position. The single-source route also indicates that system knowledge, OEM or authorised support status, and continuity of specialist capability may be commercially important when this requirement is next considered.
