The Authority has a potential requirement for a four year Framework agreement for Thermographic surveys on thirteen Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels and eight small Royal Navy vessels. Part of the survey is to be conducted at sea to allow plant equipment to be fully loaded. Most surveys are to be conducted in the UK but a portion of these will be conducted abroad. The purpose of these surveys is to negate intrusive maintenance on various electrical switchgear, machinery plant equipment and allow the ship to meet SOLAS requirements.
