Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about vessel hire, ship operating, ship repair in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find ship-related tenders and contracts in the UK?

    Search live and awarded vessel hire, ship repair and ship operating tenders on Stotles.

  • What kinds of ship contracts appear on this page?

    Notices include chartering a vessel with crew for a specific operation, dry-docking and repair work at a shipyard, and ongoing operating and maintenance support for a naval fleet. Most of this work runs through a framework rather than a single open tender.

  • Who buys vessel hire, ship repair and ship operating services?

    Central government defence and maritime safety bodies are frequent buyers, alongside state-backed shipyards and ferry operators. Some contracts respond to a specific incident, such as a vessel needed at short notice for pollution response.

  • Are ship repair and ship operating contracts open competitions?

    Some are, but a lot of this work moves through long-running frameworks and call-off orders rather than a single advertised competition. Checking a framework's supplier list can be as useful as watching for a new open notice.
