Although UK companies participated in the competition to supply the vessels, none submitted a final bid. Following the construction in South Korea, the ships will undergo customisation and trials in the UK, prior to entering service with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. A competition for this package of work is under way, and is limited to UK companies. An announcement of the results of this competition, and on the contract for the provision of support for the ships, is expected in 2015.</p><p>The approved cost for the MARS Tanker project, including the cost of the vessels, and the customisation and trials is £596 million. There are currently no other plans for the procurement of Royal Fleet Auxiliary Tankers.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 213891 213893 question first answered 17/11/2014 17:10:52 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
