Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is conducting a tender process titled "BOATS/0005 Design, Build and Support of Intercept and Escort Craft" within the defence industry sector, focusing on procurement for small craft. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 4th February 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £25,580,000, with a firm requirement for 36 crafts to be delivered over a four-year period, addressing the requirements for high-performance vessels capable of rapid response and operational flexibility. The tender will employ a selective procurement method, with three to six candidates anticipated for the negotiation phase.

This opportunity presents a significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in marine vessel design and manufacturing, as well as those offering related support services. Companies with expertise in developing high-performance craft, integrating complex navigation systems, or providing maintenance services would be well-positioned to compete. The requirement for subcontracting indicates that there may also be opportunities for other businesses to partner in delivering elements of the contract, thus enhancing collaboration within the industry.
