## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured SPA710 maritime spares for the Royal Navy. The requirement covers systems spares supporting naval platforms, within the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team of Defence Equipment Support’s ships operating centre. The team provides global support to the Royal Navy, so delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and elsewhere worldwide. The procurement is for goods in the warships and associated parts category (CPV 35500000). It sits within an established framework intended to provide spares through approved suppliers and supports the operation and maintenance of the naval fleet. The requirement could be affected by changes in the size of the fleet.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off competition from a framework agreement established under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The SPA710 mini-competition had a tender deadline of 26 June 2026 at 22:59 BST. The contract was awarded to Scott Aerospace Ltd on 3 July 2026, with a contract period from 7 July 2026 to 7 January 2028. The award value is recorded as £0, while the description states that the call-off price was withheld because of commercial sensitivities and the continuing competitive nature of the framework. The wider support arrangement uses call-off competitions, with mini-competitions held throughout the framework’s life. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide maritime or naval systems spares and understand the demands of supporting Royal Naval platforms. Relevant capability includes sourcing, supplying and managing specialist parts for power, propulsion and auxiliary systems, with the operational reliability and traceability expected in a defence environment. Suppliers should be able to work through framework call-off competitions and respond to mini-competition requirements rather than relying on a single direct purchase. The global support remit means that businesses should have the logistics, fulfilment and supply-chain capacity to deliver spares across the UK and overseas locations. The award to an SME shows that smaller specialist businesses can be suitable where they can demonstrate the required technical competence, dependable supply arrangements and ability to support the Ministry of Defence at fleet scale.
