Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the awarding stage for a procurement process concerning Marine Engineering Training Services under the industry category of Personnel-training services (CPV code: 79632000). This contract, valued at £9,780,572, was awarded on 17th September 2024, with Babcock Land Defence Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London, identified as the successful supplier. The procurement method used was limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons, and the project is located within the UK.
