As the Future Maritime Support Programme is currently under commercial tender and negotiation, the number of future providers is yet to be finalised. My Department always looks to secure improvements in performance where possible, maximising efficiencies and incentivising delivery to time and cost.

The transition of support services at HM Naval Base Clyde from the existing Maritime Support Delivery Framework will be carefully managed in order to avoid any adverse effect on operations.
