Open Framework Agreement for Naval Boat Safety Recognised Organisations

The UK Ministry of Defence Naval Authority is seeking to establish an Open Framework Agreement with qualified Recognised Organisations to support safety certification and compliance for over 2,500 military boats under 24 metres in length. This is a periodic reopening framework allowing new suppliers to join at designated intervals, operating over four core years with potential extension options. The estimated framework value is below £135,000 over four years, covering individual task orders. Work will be commissioned through tasking request forms and may include: civil and naval safety regulation advice, development of MOD boat safety rules and standards, boat survey training, technical support, boat survey and certification services, and technical audits. Deliverables can include technical reports, survey findings, presentations, and training. Participants must demonstrate compliance with specified standards and provide evidence upon request to maintain their position on the framework. This opportunity is ideal for maritime safety consultancies, classification societies, and training providers with expertise in both civil and military boat safety regulations.
