Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking the manufacture and supply of replacement fire detection systems for Vanguard Class submarines. The procurement falls under the "Fire-detection systems" industry category, and it is specifically classified under CPV code 31625100. This contract involves the delivery of goods to HMNB Clyde, with a procurement stage of "award" as of the most recent update on 14th October 2024. A significant amendment to the tender indicated the removal of a previously mentioned six-month duration. The procurement method employed is limited, detailed as negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, and the contract was ultimately awarded to TYCO FIRE & INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS (UK) LIMITED on 29th August 2024.

This tender invites businesses in the fire detection and safety systems manufacturing sector to explore potential growth opportunities. The requirement is highly specialised, focused on submarine safety, suggesting that experienced companies in the defence contracting space are well-suited to compete. Moreover, the contract, valued at £1,368,000 gross, provides a lucrative opportunity for suppliers capable of delivering technically complex safety systems. This procurement process underscores the absence of competition due to technical factors, making it a targeted opportunity for businesses with the requisite capabilities and compliance with defence standards.
