Provision of At-Sea Support Services - Industry Consultation
The Department of National Defence (DND) with the assistance of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to consult industry in order to determine commercially available provision of services options to deliver at-sea support services in order to address the Auxiliary Oil Replenishment (AOR) capability gap for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN)
The RCN plays an essential role in achieving the Canada First Defence Strategy mandate by monitoring Canada's maritime approaches and providing the necessary capabilities for a range of domestic, international and humanitarian operations. The RCN relies on the capability provided by AOR ships for flexibility and an independent ability to meet its core missions, at home and abroad. The RCN has announced the upcoming retirement of the Protecteur-class, and its AOR capability to be replaced with the Joint Supply Ships (JSS). JSS is not expected to reach Full Operational Capability until 2021, which leaves the RCN with an interim gap in AOR capability. While the path forward for the Canadian Armed Forces remains the JSS project, in order to address this interim gap in the coming years, DND is investigating interim options to provide at-sea support services. These potential interim solutions include collaboration agreements with allies and provision of services with industry to sustain Canadian warships at sea.
NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY CONSULTATION: This Industry Consultation is an initial step to examining the provision of service options available. At this time, the focus of the consultations with Industry is to determine the commercial capability available, how quickly industry can start providing at-sea support to the CAF, and the potential cost for delivering these services. No decision has been made on the way forward and associated budget. AT-SEA SUPPORT SERVICES REQUIREMENTS: At a high level, the appropriate level of service support required of an at-sea support services arrangement must be adequate to support a deployed national or international task group under Canadian command. At a minimum, at-sea support services would provide at-sea refuelling support. Additionally, other support similar to an Auxiliary Oil Replenishment (AOR) capability, such as aviation services, accommodations, medical services and emergency accommodations, could be considered.
