The current stage is at the planning phase, with an Industry Day scheduled for 7th December 2021 to discuss the future support of five operational Batch 2 Royal Navy Off-Shore Patrol Vessels, running until their contract's anticipated commencement in July 2023. Interested parties must confirm their attendance by 12:00 on 3rd December 2021, and relevant documentation will be shared by that date as well. This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering support, maintenance services, logistics, and risk management, particularly those with experience in defence contracting. The competitive procedure with negotiation format is designed to ensure optimal service delivery and value for money, making it ideal for companies that can demonstrate capability in global repair, obsolescence management, and operational support. Businesses prepared to engage in a long-term contract that may extend until March 2031 should consider submitting their offers as this project progresses through its various phases. ## Notice The Off-Shore Patrol Vessels Future Support (OPV FS) Batch 2 project will secure the provision of engineering support (Fleet Time (FT)) and Non-Fleet Time (NFT)), logistic support and design services to the five current in-service Batch 2 Royal Navy (RN) Off-Shore Patrol Vessels (OPV's) over an eight year period up to March 2031 (depending on the date of contract let). The project will be delivered through a DSPCR competition, aiming to optimise the availability and readiness of the platforms to promote and ensure optimal value for money.
