Ships Tenders and Contracts
See open ships tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Ship procurement covers vessel hire and chartering, ship repair and dry-docking, new ferry and research vessel design and build, and ship operating and maintenance support, including planned maintenance on patrol vessels. Much of the Royal Navy work is spares and technical services for warships. Dry-docking and repair of ferries by port and shipyard operators also come up.
Naval buying runs through multi-supplier frameworks, with each order placed as a call-off. Demand comes from central government defence and maritime safety bodies, councils running ferry services, research agencies, port operators and shipyards.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about vessel hire, vessel charter, shipbuilding, shipyard, dry dock, research vessel, patrol vessel, workboat, vessel maintenance in the UK public sector.
How do I find ship contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read fleet replacement and refit programmes, ferry service strategies, dry-docking schedules and prior information notices for vessel replacement, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What kinds of ship contracts appear?
Ship notices include chartering a vessel with crew for a specific operation, dry-docking and repair work at a shipyard, design and build of ferries and research vessels, and ongoing operating and maintenance support for a naval fleet. Much of the operating and support 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 ship repair and operating contracts are open competitions, but a lot of this work moves through long-running frameworks and call-off orders rather than a single advertised competition.
What CPV codes cover ship tenders?
Ship notices carry 34510000 (Ships), 34512100 (Ferry boats), 34511100 (Marine patrol vessels) and 50241000 (Repair and maintenance services of ships).
