## About this tender

The Off-Shore Patrol Vessels Future Support (OPV FS) Batch 2 project will secure the provision of engineering support (Fleet Time (FT)) and Non-Fleet Time (NFT)), logistic support and design services to the five current in-service Batch 2 Royal Navy (RN) Off-Shore Patrol Vessels (OPV's) over an eight year period up to March 2031 (depending on the date of contract let). The project will be delivered through an open competition, aiming to optimise the availability and readiness of the platforms to promote and ensure optimal value for money. The OPV FS contract start date is scheduled to be in July 2023.

These various support services - to be provided under an 'availability' style contract - will include but are not limited to the following: i. the planning and execution of global repair and maintenance services; ii. engineering support, planned preventative and corrective maintenance services; iii. operational defect rectification services; iv. obsolescence management services; v. stores management services; vi. logistic support services; vii. risk management services; and viii. post design services. Taken in totality, these service packages are to form a pre-determined set of availability requirements.

Interested parties are to note that whilst the project has been named Future In-Service Support Offshore Patrol Vessels (FISS OPV) since inception in 2020, the project will henceforth be referred to as Off-Shore Patrol Vessels Future Support (OPV FS) Batch 2.

Additional information:

The DPQQ documentation is to be made available via the DSP by no later than the 3rd December 2021.

The Authority intends to host an Industry Day pursuant to this OPV FS requirement, on the 7th December 2021 via Microsoft Teams. Further details are to be provided to all interested parties (see below).
