This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in maritime technical services and related support systems. The procurement method, being selective, denotes that companies with a solid track record in technical support within the maritime sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete. The nature of the framework, which involves mini-competitions, presents periodic opportunities for suppliers to engage with the MOD throughout the agreement's lifecycle. Companies participating in this scheme can expect to interact with a reputable public-sector partner, potentially leading to enhanced visibility and credibility within the defence support industry.
