We are engaging with the market on the basis of a UK-led build, using the Defence and Security provisions within the Procurement Act 2023, under which the majority of the construction, fabrication, assembly, outfitting and commissioning, and support of the vessels is undertaken in the UK or British Overseas Territory / Crown Dependency.
