    Brief

    The Future Maritime Synthetic Navigation Capability (FMSNC) project requires a new lease agreement for hosting two (2) Training Simulators currently located at Portsdown Technology Park (PTP), a non-MOD facility. The original lease under the Selborne Contract (Fleet 00603, Task TO13b) expires in March 2026. A replacement hosting arrangement/lease is sought directly with Metaverse VR to accommodate the simulators from 1 January 2028 through 31 March 2033. This opportunity is for suppliers to provide the lease renewal enabling continued operation of these critical maritime training assets.
