Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured electronic and electrical spare parts for warships, supporting the Royal Navy’s platforms and the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team within Defence Equipment Support. The requirement covers maritime spares used to provide global support to Royal Naval platforms through established framework suppliers. Delivery may be required at MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol, across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a goods requirement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The wider framework supports naval systems spares, with requirements potentially affected by changes in the size of the HM Naval Fleet.

This completed procurement was a selective call-off competition under the SPA660 multi-supplier framework, using the Ministry of Defence’s framework call-off route under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at 23:59. The award was made on 6 July 2026 to Bastek and Scott Aerospace, with an awarded value recorded as £1. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 29 January 2027. The call-off forms part of a framework under which 23 suppliers received call-off contracts, with mini-competitions held throughout the framework’s life. The procurement was evaluated through the call-off competition process.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to provide reliable electronic and electrical spares for warships and support naval platforms across a geographically broad delivery network. Credible competitors would need established capability in maritime or defence spares, dependable sourcing and inventory control, and the capacity to meet operational requirements at MOD and overseas locations. Experience supplying components for naval systems, managing technical product information and maintaining consistent quality would strengthen a future response. The route to market is a multi-supplier framework with recurring mini-competitions, so businesses need to understand framework participation and call-off competition requirements. Bastek and Scott Aerospace are both SMEs, showing that specialist smaller suppliers can compete for this type of requirement.
