<p>The Type 26 Batch 2 contract is structured to motivate both the Ministry of Defence
and BAE Systems to deliver a successful outcome, with both parties sharing in the
pain and gain in delivering the programme, ensuring value for public money and protecting
the taxpayers from any project overrun costs.</p><p>The Batch 2 contract introduces
further investment in BAE Systems' shipbuilding facilities on the Clyde, as demonstrated
by the submission of planning application for a new Shipbuilding Hall at Govan, which
will allow two frigates to be built under cover simultaneously and enable the ships
to be built faster, improving the efficiency in the programme and expanding the facilities
for future work at the yard.</p>
