## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a significant contract to Rolls-Royce Power Engineering plc for the provision of spares, repairs, and post-design technical services for electrical and control systems (MCAS) used in naval ships and submarines. This procurement, categorised under the CPV code 35522000 for electronic and electrical spare parts for warships, falls within the goods industry category and geographically focuses on the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £7,772,523.25, covers a period from 20 March 2023 to 31 March 2030. The procurement method followed a single tender action due to the proprietary nature of the requirement, and the contracting process has been completed.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply, repair, and maintenance of military electronic systems. Given the specific requirements related to the control and monitoring systems of naval ships, companies specialising in high-tech military and defence equipment would be well-suited to compete in future contracts of a similar nature. While the awarded contract was a single tender, businesses with unique capabilities in hardware and software solutions for military applications, obsolescence management, and technical support for complex systems like MCAS can find a foothold in this field and leverage their expertise for sustained business growth.

## Notice

Electronic and electrical spare parts for warships. Repair and maintenance services of military electronic systems. Submarines. Spares, Repairs, Post Design and Technical Support for Platform Control and Indication Systems and Equipment for Naval Ships and Submarines. The requirement covers the manufacture, sourcing, repair and design support for equipment and items together with services such as obsolescence management and the updating of drawings and technical documentation. Systems and Equipment include Machinery Control and Surveillance (MCAS) systems. These are used to control and monitor internal Naval Ship activities such as power generation and distribution, sea and water systems, main propulsion, platform systems and auxiliary and hotel systems. This requirement was previously advertised for competition under Prior Information Notice (OJEU: 2018/S 036-07956) and Contract Notice (OJEU: 2018/S 158-363490/EN) as MSS/043 Lot 1. Competition proved ineffective due to the proprietary nature of elements of the requirement. As a result a Single Tender was issued and the Contract has now been awarded.
