Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD), located in Bristol, England, has completed the award stage of a selective procurement process for the "MRO - Maritime Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul" project, aimed at providing repair and maintenance services for Royal Navy warships. This procurement was conducted under DSPCR 2011 regulations and employs a framework agreement with a maximum value of £317 million, concluding on 31 March 2031. Scott Aerospace has been awarded the call-off contract under this framework, which commenced on 25 March 2025 and will end on 19 October 2026. This initiative is part of the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries (PPA) team's strategy to support Royal Naval Platforms globally, with delivery expected to various global locations, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies capable of delivering specialised repair and maintenance services within the maritime sector. The framework agreement holds potential for numerous mini-competitions over its lifespan, making it attractive for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger organisations. Businesses with expertise in marine electrical power items, particularly those that can operate in a competitive international arena, will find this opportunity particularly suited to their capabilities. The ongoing nature of this framework provides a chance for continuous engagement and potential additional contracts through selective procurement methods such as restricted procedures.
