Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is planning a procurement process titled "Project TRITON", which is part of the defence industry and focuses on works related to construction and civil engineering. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an Industry Event scheduled for 6th October 2021, where potential suppliers can register their interest until 17:00 on 1st September 2021. The project aims to deliver a bridging and ferrying system to enhance military amphibious capabilities and underscores bilateral cooperation between the UK and Germany in defence procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers that specialise in construction, engineering, and military support services. Companies with experience in providing modular and scalable engineering solutions, particularly those familiar with defence contracts, would be well-positioned to engage. The non-competitive nature of the initial Industry Event allows participants to showcase their capabilities and collaborate on refining project requirements, paving the way for future competitive tenders under the Ministry's established procedures.

It fulfils a NATO commitment to provide a WWGC capability and will be operated by the Royal Engineers as part of a Multi-National Bridging Battalion based in Minden, DEU. Project TRITON will build upon the high level of interoperability enjoyed now, at the DEU / UK Amphibious Engineer Battalion (Amph Engr Bn) in Minden with M3 Amphibious Rigs. In support of the drive for commonality and interoperability for the WWGCC beyond 2027, Project TRITON has coordinated its efforts to date on a joint basis with Germany (DEU).
