<p>The National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSbS) announced that warships would be built
in the UK on the basis of a competitive tender between UK shipbuilders. Competition
will help to ensure value for money and productivity. Companies can choose where they
wish to undertake the work in the UK. The NSbS encouraged UK shipbuilders to make
use of the support available to help innovation, including the High Value Manufacturing
Catapults, Productivity Council Funding, and the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.</p><p>
</p><p>The NSbS Master Plan provides a 30-year forecast of Royal Naval shipbuilding
requirements, providing industry with greater certainty about the Royal Navy's procurement
plans so it has the confidence to invest for the long term in its people and its assets.
This will allow industry to raise productivity, innovation and improve its competitiveness
in the domestic and overseas markets.</p><p> </p><p>The 30 Year Master Plan also allows
the alignment of capability development and associated innovation with the plan in
order to deliver the Maritime Strategy 2035 vision.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
