## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed the award of a contract for the manufacture of Flexible Hose equipment. The procurement process, labelled as an open procedure, aimed to enhance capabilities in the Forward Support Unit by including Flexible Hose Assembly (FHA). This development is expected to benefit both SURFLOT Fleet Time units and those in UPKEEP/SED, by saving time and reducing costs associated with long lead times and high labour charges from industry partners. The primary industry category involved is goods, specifically hoses, with delivery in the United Kingdom, including regions UKJ31 and UKK41. The awarding of this contract followed the submission deadline on 1 December 2025, and the contract period is set to begin on 6 January 2026, with options for extending up to 31 March 2032. The awarded contract to Fluidpower Group UK Ltd underscores the completion stage of the procurement process.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses in the hose manufacturing sector, particularly those able to meet the demand for increased naval capabilities that the Ministry of Defence requires. Given the scale and the potential for a six-year contract extension, companies that specialise in hose assembly and manufacturing can leverage this contract for long-term growth. Small and medium enterprises with the ability to provide efficient production and assembly could find this type of tender well suited to their offerings. As the contract involves substantial deliveries within the UK regions, firms with a focus on quality technical solutions and competitive pricing are encouraged to explore similar future opportunities for business growth.
