## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has initiated a selective procurement process under the title "704471450-MSS/143-PD2-017 CAN", classified under technical support services. This tender, completed as of August 8, 2025, is part of the Defence Equipment Support's effort to secure maritime post-design and technical services for the Royal Navy. The framework agreement, worth £216,832,000, covers various locations, including the United Kingdom and international territories. The restricted procedure, compliant with DSPCR 2011 regulations, enables the Ministry to call upon 28 suppliers through mini-competitions until the contract concludes on April 30, 2026.

This framework agreement provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for those capable of offering technical support products tailored to naval requirements. The eligibility of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) suggests a welcoming environment for a diverse range of suppliers. Businesses with expertise in delivering highly technical maritime solutions, particularly those with experience supporting naval platforms, are well-suited to compete for call-off contracts within this framework. The framework's expansive geographical scope allows for increased market reach and potential collaboration with international partners.
