Project Selborne - Provision of a Training Service to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines

Description

Project Selborne's will contract for the delivery of Naval Service Training, some of which is already outsourced, across UK establishments, modernising the approach to training design, delivery and encouraging innovative solutions. This aligns with the Maritime Training Strategy (MTS) to provide relevant, innovative and modern training, underpinned by collaborative working which delivers the human component of Maritime Force Elements at Readiness to enable Operational success. Collaborative working between the Contractor and the Authority is an essential enabler to achieve the intended outcomes. Selborne's focus is to prioritise quality and improvement of RN individual training outcomes through modernisation. In addition to the provision of training, the Contractor will be responsible for: (i) designing, procuring and managing the supply of, and the maintenance and repair of all associated training equipment; (ii) delivering/managing and procuring the interior design and fit out of a new Authority premises which has been built to house the provision of training services and, upon completion, delivering/managing the relocation of training activities from an existing site to the new premises. The Training Service to be delivered by the Contractor under this Contract represents the convergence of multiple legacy contracts, primarily FOAP(T), into a single arrangement for the integrated delivery of an end-to-end service for the training of Naval Service Personnel. These legacy contracts and activities vary and will be incrementally included into Selborne over the Contract Term. The Authority may incorporate all or part of the legacy contracts and/or in-house service provision. The Authority intends to bring the legacy contracts and in-house service provision together into a single Contract to enable the Authority to transfer the management of such training services to a single Contractor and for the Contractor to improve Value for Money for the Authority, by exploiting commonality, coherence and synergies between training services to improve the quality and efficiency of service provision, and by giving the Contractor more scope to identify and implement opportunities for improvements and modernisation across wider Maritime Training. The Contractor will also manage military assets, equipment, documentation, that will be supplied as Government Furnished Assets (GFA) and manage a cadre of Naval Service instructors as Government Furnished Resource (GFR).
