Tender Description

BAE Systems are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) to supply ships fasteners with VMI for the Hunter Class Frigate Program (HCFP).

BAE has recently been down selected to design and build the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) future frigates.

The BAE Systems Future Frigate offering, also known as the Hunter Class GCS-A (Global Combat Ship – Australia) is a variant of the British Type 26 GCS (T26).

The Hunter Class Frigates will be built at the ASC Shipbuilding Facility at Osborne, Adelaide, SA.

The purpose of the Capability Questionnaire is to establish the feasibility of prospective industrial partners to provide fasteners with VMI to BAE Systems for the HCFP.

The Hunter Class Program will require maximisation of local content in Australia.

Suppliers will be expected to work autonomously within the BAE partnering strategy.

Suppliers will be responsible for the management of fasteners with VMI:
* stocks based on usage consumption,
* direct procurement,
* supply,
* offsite warehouse holdings of consignment stock,
* onsite replenishment,
* Quality Assurance and OQE
* KPI reporting

Suppliers will be required to provide evidence of previous VMI experience and innovative solutions that can be applied to benefit the HCFP.
