Under EU and UK law, the mechanism available to the MOD for addressing state aid concerns is through the concept of an abnormally low tender, related to a specific competitive procurement. The MOD has the right to reject a tender if a grant of aid was not in accordance with EU and UK law.</p><p>The MOD takes open competition very seriously and is confident in the measures in place to ensure that the Fleet Solid Support ships' competitive process is conducted strictly in accordance with the EU regulations on state aid.</p> answering member constituency Aberconwy answering member printed Guto Bebb question first answered 19/06/2018 15:01:33 answering member 3910 label Biography information for Guto Bebb
