Inflatable craft

Tender description

Inflatable craft. The Commercially supported shipping (CSS) Boats team has a requirement to replace a number of existing inflatable craft operated currently by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). This project is looking at replacing 5 extant variants namely: — combat rapid raiding craft (CRRC) 520, — SF Medium inflatable boat (MIB), — W525 General purpose (GP) inflatable, — W525 Explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) inflatable, and — the Inshore raiding craft (IRC) Mk III. It is envisaged that all existing craft can be replaced with military/commercial off-the-shelf (COTS/MOTS) craft, with modifications that can be adapted to suit each role. The scope of the contract is also to include the repair and maintenance of the new craft brought into service, the supply of spares and ancillaries in support of the new craft and post design service (PDS)/modifications to new in-service craft.
