Procurement Information
GE Vernova Power Conversion Limited (Company Number 05571739) ("the Company") from 1 July 2024 to 31 March 2027, with the option to exercise an extension for an additional 12 (twelve) months to 31 March 2028. The estimated value of the Contract will be PS10,000,000 (Ten Million Pounds Sterling). There is a requirement to provide a generational technology shift in high power electrical generating, propulsion, and distribution, with appeal to the Maritime sector due to the; high power density, high resilience, and reduced maintenance (seagoing workforce suppression) opportunities it presents. It is considered to have high applicability to military maritime users in crewed and uncrewed vehicles against an expectation that the future military surface and sub-surface maritime requirement will drive high levels of electrical power for air-independent endurance, low acoustic and EMF signatures, long range sensors, directed energy weapons and a reduction in crew numbers. End User support to sustain the essential capability. Electrification (including propulsion, switching, distribution and services) can drive the ship design spiral virtuously to offer reductions in signatures, susceptibility, space / weight / cost / crew, and the hotel services overheads that accompany them. Electrification also presents choice in the energy source for generation with a view to restrictive environmental compliance as a restraint for access or adoption of alternate fuels that may power alternate prime movers. In accordance with regulation 4 of the Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).
