SDA Submarine Disposal Capability - Early Market Engagement - RFI

Description

The Government is committed to providing a safe, secure, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for the disposal of the UK's legacy, current and future out-of-service nuclear-powered submarines. In line with this, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has established the Submarine Disposal Capability (SDC) Project to conduct a strategic review of its Submarine Disposal Programme.

SDC launched a series of Early Market Engagement events on the 6 July 2023 and concluding on 2 November 2023 through Project Notice 61606792 (Themed Market Engagement Days - Submarine Disposal) to inform a long-term Submarine Disposal Programme. A follow-on market engagement will now be held on 6 June 2024 (1400-1700) where the SDC Project team will provide an update to the programme.

For further information or to register your attendance at the event, to be held remotely on Microsoft Teams, please send the following information to SDA-SDC@mod.gov.uk no later than 1700 on 30 May 2024.

Please note that Market engagement does not represent a formal commitment by the Authority to enter into any contractual arrangement or launch a formal procurement process. The strategy will develop as the market engagement progresses.

Industry engagement with the Submarine Disposal Capability project is important - please note that market engagement is not funded by the Authority and Industry participants will be responsible for their own costs.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
