There is an estimated baseline value of Government Furnished Equipment for the Type 31e Frigate programme, but it would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of the Ministry of Defence to disclose that estimate at this stage.

It is too early to specify the sources of Government Furnished Equipment that will be fitted to the Type 31 Frigates.
