## Summary

The PUBLIC PROCUREMENT process involves the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE as the buying organisation, seeking a contractor for the Marine Systems Support Partner (MSSP) in relation to parts for warships. The procurement method is a selective negotiated procedure, and the contract has a total value of £499,325,547, with the contract period running from 18th May 2017 to 17th May 2024. The award has been completed and published on 26th June 2017, following the tender period closure on 17th May 2017. The location for delivery encompasses the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and other regions across Europe and beyond.

This contract opportunity presents a significant prospect for growth, particularly for businesses engaged in industries related to naval engineering, parts manufacturing for military vessels, and technical and support services for warships. Larger firms and experienced contractors with a robust capability in repair, maintenance, and engineering support for maritime systems will be well-positioned to compete. This contract not only offers substantial financial rewards but also the chance to establish a long-term partnership with a key governmental entity.
