The specification for the services will include the following:
• Maintenance in accordance with the Mooring Maintenance Programme (MMP), a schedule of routine mooring and navigation mark maintenance to ensure moorings and navigation marks remain safe to operate.
• A Moorings Replacement Programme (MRP) to replace moorings and navigation marks with telemetry buoys. The MRP will involve the total removal of the legacy mooring, the design and assurance of the new moorings, the procurement of replacement components and the installation and assurance of the new moorings.
• The sourcing, storage, and delivery of components to an authority nominated UK point of departure, allowing the Authority to maintain moorings in Ascension Island and Falkland Islands.
Full details of the service output including mooring, navigation marks and telemetry buoy volumetrics can be found within the Statement of Requirement (SoR).
In addition to the vessel, the Authority will supply Government Furnished Assets (GFA) in support of the Contract services, including:
• moorings and markers
