UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is buying technical maritime engineering support for Royal Navy maritime command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C5I) systems. The service covers engineering support, IT service management, installation, maintenance, upgrades, network support, operational support and lifecycle management for maritime communications and information systems. Delivery is required in the UK and overseas. This is a services requirement combining specialist maritime systems engineering with IT and network support. It is relevant to businesses that support defence communications and information infrastructure, maintain operational technology, or provide integrated engineering and service-management teams for complex maritime environments.

The procurement is complete and Carbon60 Limited was selected through a competitive selective procedure under a framework. The award date was 15 September 2026. The awarded value is £34,041,800 excluding VAT, or £40,850,160 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2029, with two optional 12-month continuation periods, giving a maximum end date of 30 November 2031. A standstill period runs until 25 September 2026, and signature was scheduled for 30 September 2026. There was one completed lot. Evaluation was conducted through the competitive framework route; the procurement is above the applicable threshold. Carbon60 Limited is the named awardee.

This award shows sustained Ministry of Defence demand for integrated technical support to Royal Navy maritime C5I systems, rather than a single installation or maintenance task. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability across maritime engineering, IT service management, systems installation, maintenance, upgrades, network support, operational support and whole-lifecycle management. It would also need to support communications and information systems in both UK and overseas operating environments, coordinate several technical disciplines, and maintain dependable service delivery for operational defence users. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that scale, resilience and the capacity to provide broad specialist support are relevant commercial strengths.
