The Ministry of Defence intends to award a contract for maritime maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) as part of ongoing support for the Royal Navy’s fleet.
The contract, issued under Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, falls within the Power, Propulsion, and Auxiliaries (PPA) Team, which operates within the Defence Equipment Support (DES) Ships Operating Centre.
The contract award notice, published on 28 February 2025, confirms that Scott Aerospace (Bristol) and Basetek (Ipswich) have been selected as suppliers for marine electrical items under the existing framework agreement. The contract duration is three months, running from 12 February to 14 May 2025, with a value ranging from £1 to £317 million.
The framework agreement is designed to ensure global support for Royal Naval platforms, covering essential repairs and overhauls. Due to commercial sensitivities, the call-off price for this specific contract has not been disclosed. The MOD has also acknowledged that the size of the Royal Navy’s fleet may fluctuate during the contract period, affecting future maintenance requirements.
The MRO framework operates through mini-competitions, allowing multiple suppliers to bid for specific contracts throughout its lifespan. In this case, a mini-competition was held for marine electrical items, with Scott Aerospace and Basetek emerging as the successful bidders.
The contract is suitable for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary and Community Organisations (VCOs), reflecting the MOD’s efforts to involve a broad range of suppliers in defence procurement.
This latest award forms part of a broader Royal Navy sustainment strategy, ensuring that essential warships and naval support vessels remain operationally ready.
Is there perhaps one or two “typo” in the article.
The contract runs for “three months”, during this time the size of the fleet may fluctuate. Value between £1 to £137 million.
Surely not even DE&S can spend that money in a 3 month period.
