## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed a selective procurement process for Maritime Post Design and Technical Services under a robust framework agreement aimed at supporting Royal Naval Platforms. The contract, titled "704471450-MSS/143-PD1-004 CAN," focuses on technical support services, and the total procurement value stands at £216,832,000. The contract, awarded in accordance with the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, covers a wide geographical area including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and other regions. The contract period extends from 27th August 2025 to 27th August 2028, following the tender period that concluded on 25th June 2025. This contract is particularly favourable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), and involves a restricted procedure above the procurement threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support services, particularly those experienced in maritime and naval operations. As it forms part of a framework agreement, it offers the potential for ongoing collaboration through mini-competitions, fostering dynamic business growth and stable workflow. Companies well-suited for this opportunity include those with expertise in supporting naval platforms, and who are agile enough to handle the fluctuating demands of a framework contract. Large organisations like Scott Aerospace Ltd, a current supplier, demonstrate the lucrative potential for businesses involved in such comprehensive support roles. The inclusion of call-off contracts ensures there is room for continuous participation, thereby encouraging diverse enterprises to engage and benefit from future procurements.
