Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured services for the extension of its TTHC/0017 Torpedoes Repair and Maintenance Contract. The requirement concerns the repair and maintenance of security and defence materials, specifically torpedoes, with contract documents published to meet transparency requirements. The work is associated with the Ministry of Defence’s National Armaments Director Group at Abbey Wood in Bristol. Delivery coverage is stated across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a defence support services requirement rather than a supply of standalone goods or general engineering services. The relevant classification is CPV 50600000, covering repair and maintenance services for security and defence materials.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a negotiated procedure without prior publication above threshold, using a limited procurement method. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026. The contract was awarded to BAE Systems Surface Ships Ltd on 1 July 2026 for £135,254,245.71, and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The Ministry of Defence was the buyer. The award was evaluated as a single services requirement, with no lots identified. Participation was not designated as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The award is active and the tender is complete.

For businesses monitoring future Ministry of Defence requirements, this award demonstrates substantial demand for specialist torpedo repair and maintenance capability delivered across a wide geographic area. A credible competitor would need established defence engineering expertise, the ability to maintain and repair torpedoes and other security or defence materials, and sufficient organisational capacity for a major multi-year support requirement. Experience operating across the United Kingdom and potentially wider territories would be relevant to the stated delivery coverage. The procurement route also indicates that this buyer may use a restricted negotiated approach for high-value, above-threshold defence support work. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers would need scale and the capability to meet a large prime-contractor requirement, either directly or through an appropriate defence supply-chain role.
