## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured maritime spares for Royal Navy platforms, specifically the SPA688 requirement. The work supports the Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries team within Defence Equipment Support, which provides global support for the Royal Navy. It concerns warships and associated parts, including systems spares supplied through an established group of framework suppliers. Delivery may cover the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction project. Businesses with relevant naval, marine engineering, propulsion, power, auxiliary-systems or defence spares capability would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 July 2026 through a selective call-off competition under an existing framework agreement established under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026 at 22:59. The awarded contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 February 2028; the tender record gives an overall period from 19 August 2026 to 19 February 2028. Six suppliers were awarded: Scott Aerospace Ltd, Basetek Limited, BAE Systems Surface Ships Ltd, Central Management Catalogue Agency (UK) Ltd, GE Energy Power Conversion UK Limited and TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited. The award value is recorded as £0 GBP, while call-off pricing was withheld because of commercial sensitivities and ongoing framework competition. The tender estimated value is recorded as £1 GBP.

This award shows continuing Ministry of Defence demand for naval platform systems spares delivered internationally through framework call-offs and mini-competitions. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to maritime or defence spares, technical knowledge of warship systems, and the supply-chain capacity to support Royal Navy platforms across multiple territories and overseas locations. The successful supplier group combines specialist aerospace and marine businesses, a major surface-ships manufacturer, an energy power-conversion company, a catalogue agency and a logistics provider. That mix indicates value in original-equipment or technically equivalent supply, accurate parts identification and catalogue management, reliable procurement and distribution, and the ability to meet defence-sector commercial and regulatory requirements. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the awarded suppliers include both SMEs and large companies.

## Notice
