I can confirm that the platform will be procured through the new Integrated Procurement Model (IPM), which I recently announced. As such, the next step in the programme will be for me to receive and review the Independent Advice Note (IAN) on MRSS which will inform the concept and design phases of the programme. As I said in my Oral Statement of 28th<\/sup> February, announcing the IPM, the aim of this note is \u201cto provide a credible second opinion for Ministers to weigh alongside the military\u2019s proposed requirement\u201d (Hansard ref).<\/p> <\/p> The IAN will provide advice on key policy choices, to ensure we set the programme up for success from the off. In particular, this is to core policy issues are transparently considered at the earliest stage, and then locked down as far as possible, so that the remaining procurement stages can proceed at pace, and in a context of underlying policy certainty. Policy areas to be informed by the IAN will include:<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Advice would draw on expertise from across the Defence Enterprise, including, but not restricted to: DSTL; DE&S; DSE/DBT.<\/p> <\/p> The total programme budget will be allocated on completion of the concept phase. It is too early in that process to have committed expenditure or actual spend.<\/p> <\/p> MRSS will enter service in the early 2030s, providing highly flexible warships, able to deploy on a wider variety of operations. They will be lean-crewed, with the precise crew requirement being confirmed during the concept phase.<\/p>"}
