This engagement workshop is scheduled to end on 31 January 2025. The event will primarily take place in Portsmouth, England, but includes input from various locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, focusing on engaging with industry stakeholders for innovative nuclear solutions for the Royal Navy. This opportunity is classified under CPV code 73424000, which pertains to the development of warships. This engagement workshop provides significant opportunity for businesses, especially SMEs, involved in nuclear technology, maritime engineering, and related fields, to collaborate with the Ministry of Defence. Businesses that are adept in cutting-edge nuclear solutions for integration into naval systems stand to benefit the most. By participating, companies can help shape the future strategic vision for a novel nuclear Navy, thereby positioning themselves as key suppliers and collaborators for future defence contracts. ## Notice *Update 14/01/2025* Due to an error on the application form, all submissions have been received as anonymous.

The Royal Navy would like to thank all industry stakeholders that provided an RFI submission for RFI0046 Generation 4 nuclear technologies for integration into surface ships. The Royal Navy Develop Directorate will host a workshop to engage with industrial stakeholders on a Novel Nuclear Surface Fleet; then seek industry's view on investigating a plausible strategic vision for a novel nuclear Navy, focusing on the operational advantages and feasibility of nuclear technology in naval surface applications.
