<p>During financial year 2020-21, the Ministry of Defence held a contract with Babcock
for the provision of onshore support services at HM Naval Bases Devonport and Clyde.
This included the refit and maintenance of our submarines and warships at those bases.
It is not possible to separate those elements directly attributable to submarine and
surface ship refit and maintenance within the contract, which also includes wider
Naval Base operating costs. A separate contract with Babcock was also in place for
HMS VANGUARD's deep maintenance project.</p><p>Total expenditure against these contracts
in 2020-21 was £851million.</p>
