Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was led by Defence Equipment and Support, a branch of the central government located in Bristol, UK, focusing on defence and security. The tender, identified as "PPA/011 Supply of PSSE," involved the supply of Kongsberg PSSE, specifically parts for warships. The process reached its award stage and was completed with the contract awarded on 11th September 2025. With a procurement method described as "Below threshold - limited competition," this opportunity was categorised in the goods sector and entailed an active contract period from 10th September 2025 to 9th January 2026, valued at £108,683.86. The specific requirements were addressed under a limited competition framework given the special regime applicable to defence and security.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in high-performance components for military applications. Companies with expertise in providing parts for warships and engaged in defence contracts will find this type of tender beneficial. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Scott Aerospace Limited, which successfully secured the contract, illustrate the potential for participation in this sector given a strategic approach to limited competition tenders. Businesses aiming to expand within the defence sector should consider positioning themselves for similar opportunities by demonstrating capability in meeting specific technical requirements and compliance with associated legal and regulatory frameworks.
