## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured maritime systems spares for the Royal Navy. The requirement covered SPA703 within a wider framework supporting the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team in Defence Equipment Support and supplying spares for Royal Naval platforms. The goods category is warships and associated parts (CPV 35500000). Delivery could be required in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world. This was a goods requirement for naval platforms and their systems, rather than a general commercial supply contract. The framework supports the Ministry of Defence’s global naval operations and may need to accommodate changes in fleet size.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off competition from an established framework agreement. The wider framework was awarded under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011, with call-off competitions involving 23 suppliers; this competition concerned SPA703. The award was made to Basetek Ltd on 29 July 2026. The contract period runs from 30 July 2026 to 30 January 2028. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026 at 22:59 British Summer Time. The published call-off price was withheld because of commercial sensitivities and the continuing competitive nature of the framework; the recorded award value is £0. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award shows continuing Ministry of Defence demand for maritime systems spares supporting Royal Naval platforms, with requirements that can involve worldwide delivery. A credible future supplier would need to source, supply and support spares for naval power, propulsion or auxiliary systems, and manage deliveries across the United Kingdom and overseas locations. Experience of defence or maritime supply chains would help demonstrate relevance, particularly where components must be matched to operational platforms and supplied reliably. Smaller businesses may be capable of competing: the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and the selected supplier, Basetek Ltd, is an SME. Firms should also be able to engage in framework call-off competitions and respond to mini-competition requirements for defined spare-parts packages.

## Notice

Maritime Spares. The Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries (PPA) Team, which is part of the ships operating centre within Defence Equipment Support (DES) provides global support to the Royal Navy. PPA has set up a Framework agreement to provide systems spares to Royal Naval Platforms through an established set of suppliers. There is a possibility that during the life of the proposed contract that the size of HM Naval Fleet may increase or decrease. The support contract took the form of a Framework arrangement and has been awarded under DSPCR 2011 regulations. Call-Off contracts were awarded to 23 suppliers via call-off competitions. Mini-Competitions are held throughout the life of the framework agreement. This mini-competition was for the provision of SPA703. Call-off price withheld due to commercial sensitivities and the ongoing competitive nature of the Framework.
