## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the provision of engineering support, logistics, and design services for eight Royal Navy Off-shore Patrol Vessels in the North East region, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a competitive procedure with negotiation, and the contract period runs from July 1, 2023, to March 31, 2031, with a total value of £118,668,947 GBP.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in repair and maintenance services of warships to compete for a long-term contract with the Ministry of Defence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity particularly suitable due to the contract's focus on ensuring value for money and optimizing fleet readiness over a 5-10 year period.
