Publisher note: The Royal Navy has a vision to MOBILISE – get the most out of what we have. MODERNISE – embrace new technologies to assure our competitive advantage. TRANSFORM – radically improve the way we do business in order to “mobilise”, we must maximise availability (i.e., the period of time that a ship is available to perform the task required of it) by using modern maintenance systems and employing the very best support suppliers. The change programme to deliver this vision is known as project RENOWN. Marine Systems Support (MSS) Future Strategy programme Marine Systems Support Transformation (MaST) is a fundamental pillar to support the Royal Navy’s vision. This is a major change programme for both Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and the Royal Navy. MSS is responsible for delivering reliable, affordable, and sustainable maritime platform equipment support: throughout its service life ensuring equipment is safe, available, and capable to support the Fleet and its sailors so that they are ready to conduct operations when required. MSS currently employs over 330 staff grouped into 3 systems teams Marine Propulsion (MP), Marine Electrical (ME) and Marine Auxiliary (MX) to manage the Master Equipment’s in supporting Royal Navy Ships and Submarines both legacy and future classes. The MaST programme offers a unique opportunity to review and determine the optimum approach and associated supply chain to deliver effective support to the fleet. MSS envision a phased implementation from the current approach to the future state solution over several years. The objective of MaST is to transform the way the MSS programme supports the non-combat related equipment fitted to platforms across the Royal Navy. Currently support is provided either by the equipment desk or by a class-based approach which encompasses T45 and QEC platform support. As the Royal Navy seeks to improve availability of its fleet, a number of existing contractual arrangements within MSS come to a natural conclusion and two new classes of Frigate (T26 and T31) are due to come under the support umbrella. The opportunity has arisen for DE&S to evaluate its equipment support in order to improve support to its customer the Royal Navy.  In order to meet the objectives of supporting new platforms and increasing availability of platforms across the fleet, MaST is seeking to change the established setup of MSS by expanding its supplier base enabling direct access to the Authority, with improving communications, data sharing, forward planning and opportunities, to consider innovative solutions that best support the Royal Navy.  MaST is a project that will operate within Project RENOWN, under which the Royal Navy seeks to improve its own internal interfaces with the DE&S in-service support programme and wider Support Transformation programmes.  Suppliers interested in working with the MOD should register on its Supplier Information Database (SID), available at www.contracts.mod.uk. The SID is a catalogue of potential suppliers available to all MOD procurement staff and is the main supplier database used by MOD. Please note that the registration and publication of a company profile on the SID does not mean or imply that the supplier has in any way been vetted or approved by the MOD. Suppliers wishing to compete for a contract opportunity must respond to any specific call for competition by submitting a separate expression of interest in accordance with the instructions in the contract notice. The Authority reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy. If any contract documents are accompanied by instructions on safeguarding classified information (e.g. a Security Aspects Letter), the Authority reserves the right to amend the terms of these instructions to reflect any changes in national law or government policy, whether in respect of the applicable protective marking scheme, specific protective markings given, the aspects to which any protective marking applies, or otherwise. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications The Contracting Authority intends to use an e-Tendering system in this procurement exercise, please visit www.contracts.mod.uk for full details and to register your interest in this procurement. .
