Marine Systems Transformation Early Market Engagement Request for Information
DE&S is transforming the way that they provide support to Maritime Systems across the Royal Navy – everything from supplying spare parts to providing complex technical assistance to Warships. They are interested in engaging with any shape or size of supplier that can help them to achieve that goal. If your business can provide support to keep the Royal Navy at sea – or, have ideas about how we can improve our support to the fleet – then they want to hear from you!
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 (Marine Systems Support). It is aiming to expand 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 RN (Royal Navy).
Please see attached Pre-Market Engagement Documents on the Official DSP listing for more Information.
