House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 03 Dec 2010

Technical Support 3 Contracting Arrangement

Michael Dugher: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many contracts have been let under the Framework Agreement for Technical Support 3 contracting arrangement; what the (a) highest and (b) lowest monetary value is of such a contract; and how many such contracts have been awarded to small and medium-sized enterprises. [27806]
Peter Luff: Since the Framework Agreement for Technical Support 3 (FATS/3) was put in place in April 2009, over 1,530 individual contracts have been placed with FATS/3 contractors. The highest value contract was for £7.9 million and the lowest for £600. Of these contracts some 684 were placed directly with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Many of those contracts placed with larger companies will also have benefited SMEs in the form of sub-contracted work.

Trident Submarines

Mr Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of extending the life of the Vanguard-class submarines; and if he will make a statement. [21400]

Mr Jenkin: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the likely additional maintenance costs arising from the extension by nine years of the in-service life of the four Vanguard-class submarines. [20398]

Dr Fox [holding answer 2 November 2010]: The 2006 White Paper (CM 6994) extended the life of the Vanguard-class by five years to 2024 at an additional cost of £1.3 billion. As announced in the strategic defence and security review, we have deferred the successor submarine in service date from 2024 to 2028 for which we expect to spend around an additional £1.2 billion in maintaining the Vanguard-class. The overall impact of the changes identified by the value of money study and reported in the strategic defence and security review will reduce costs by £3.2 billion over the next 10 years.
