Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by the Defence Sourcing Portal, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, for a contract titled "Motion Control," classified under general purpose relays (CPV code: 31221200). This procurement falls under the goods category and is located in the UK region of Bristol. The current stage of this process is at the award level, with the contract valued at approximately £4 million (ex VAT), signed on 18 February 2021. A contract extension will commence on 1 March 2021, providing in-service support related to submarine motion control systems onboard the Vanguard and Trafalgar Class submarines, awarded exclusively to BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited through a limited negotiated procurement method.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in defence contracts, particularly those with expertise in technical support and critical spare parts integration for naval systems. Firms that manufacture or provide in-service support for submarine technologies, as well as those capable of supplying hydraulic valve actuators and electronic control apparatus, would be particularly well-suited to compete in this market. Engaging with such large-scale defence contracts can facilitate business growth and expansion into high-value sectors within the UK defence industry.
