    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence seeks a through-life support contractor to provide maintenance, engineering, and logistical services for five new Type 31 'Inspiration Class' frigates destined for the Royal Navy. These modern warships will replace aging Type 23 frigates and serve as the backbone of the UK's surface fleet, requiring high operational availability for global deployments and multiple mission types including maritime security, intelligence gathering, and humanitarian assistance. The contract will be awarded for a minimum eight-year period with two optional extension years through a competitive negotiated procedure. The successful bidder will manage a comprehensive hybrid support solution covering: service management, maintenance planning and execution, supply chain operations, design services, engineering support, technical documentation, and safety/environmental/security compliance. Bidders should demonstrate capability to optimize fleet availability, reduce through-life costs, and collaborate with the Ministry of Defence to deliver a world-class support solution sustaining operations at the intensity and geographic range demanded by UK defence commitments.
