MRO - Maritime Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul. The Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaies (PPA) Team, which is part of the ships operating centre within Defence Equipment Support (DES) provides global support to the Royal Navy. PPA has set up a Framework agreement to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul to Royal Naval Platforms through an established set of suppliers.

There is a possibility that during the life of the proposed contract that the size of HM Naval Fleet may increase or decrease. The support contract took the form of a Framework arrangement and has been awarded under DSPCR 2011 regulations. Call-Off contracts were awarded to 16 suppliers via call-off competitions.

Mini-Competitions are held throughout the life of the framework agreement. This mini-competition was for the provision of Marine transmissions, steering and stabiliser items. The awarded call-off contract value was determined subsequent to a competitive exercise undertaken in accordance with the framework terms.

The overall framework contract runs to 31 March 2031 and has a maximum value of £317m. The call-off contract value is withheld due to commercial sensitivities and the ongoing competitive nature of the Framework.
