## Summary

The procurement process concerns the Ministry of Defence, Ships, Maritime Platform Systems (MPS), which has issued an award for the procurement of two Voith Schneider propulsors to enhance the existing fleet of seven minehunter ships. The contract, valued at £4,000,000, is classified under the goods category focusing on ship propellers. The contract period is set to commence on 31 March 2018 and extend through to 31 December 2019. This contract has previously completed its tender phase, with the award being formally announced on 1 March 2018.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in marine propulsion systems and related engineering services, particularly those that can supply specialised equipment to government contracts. Companies with expertise in manufacturing or supplying ship propellers, as well as those supporting the naval defence sector, would be particularly well-suited to pursue future tenders within this procurement landscape. Engaging with the Ministry of Defence could also lead to additional contracts within the marine and defence industries, further fostering business growth.

## Notice

In order to ensure continuity across the Single Role Minehunter Fleet of 7 ships it is important that the same propulsors which are currently installed upon these ships are added to the current pool of propulsors.
