Summary of the contracting process

The UK Ministry of Defence is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENTS FEBRUARY 2022 ONLY - UPDATE," aimed at providing an Interim Strategic Sealift Capability. This initiative is relevant to the shipping operations industry and is focused on developing a capability to deploy cargo overseas in support of the UK's commitments.
