Fleet Solid Support Ships: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a decision to restrict the competition for the procurement of Fleet Solid Support ships to UK companies would result in compensation costs to non-UK companies that have taken part in the market engagement process.

Answer

The Fleet Solid Support ships market engagement process was conducted on a 'without commitment' basis, so there are no grounds on which a party could claim compensation.
