## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for architectural services at Devonport Royal South Dockyard. This procurement process was initiated as a selective tender, calling off from a dynamic purchasing system, and was part of the CPV classification for architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. Located in Devonport with the postal code PL5 1BL, the project aims to support SALMO crewed and uncrewed systems' infrastructure needs. Ridge and Partners LLP, the supplier, will commence work on 7th January 2026, concluding by 31st March 2026. The award was published on 12th February 2026 following its activation on 19th December 2025, with a contract value of £28,000.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and engineering services, particularly those equipped to manage complex infrastructure projects. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would find this procurement suited to their capabilities, though the supplier selected, Ridge and Partners LLP, is a large-scale firm. The focus on delivering advanced infrastructure solutions for both crewed and uncrewed systems presents substantial potential for organisations with expertise in adapting spaces for technological expansion. Engaging in this contract will not only allow exposure to high-profile defence projects but also foster relationships with a key government entity like the Ministry of Defence.

## Notice

The intent is to deliver a long-term infrastructure support solution for SALMO crewed and uncrewed systems, with the intention of co-locating SALMO uncrewed systems and related staff. The works on the warehouse and office facility aim to create a space large enough to house the current fleet of AUV's and ROV's and allow for foreseeable future expansion. A Building located in Devonport Royal South Dockyard has been proposed as a new location for SALMO to relocate to and from its operational base.
