The Suppliers Conference for the British (CVF) and French (PA2) Aircraft carrier programmes, Thursday 25 October 2007
Venue: Marriott City Centre Hotel, Bristol
With the completion of the Assessment Phase for the replacement programme for the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, the UK government has recently confirmed that the two new aircraft carriers, each displacing 65,000 tons, will now be built under the CVF programme.
As part of a parallel international framework involving cooperation with France on its PA2 carrier programme, French and UK naval and maritime industries are encouraged to bid for the supply of equipment and systems on both the CVF & PA2 programmes.
The CVF programme will be managed by the CVF Alliance that brings together the Ministry of Defence teams with those of BAE Systems, VT Group, Babcock International Group, KBR and Thales UK.
Although many important procurement decisions have been taken during the extended Assessment Phase of the programme, and some contracts have been placed, a significant amount of business remains to be established with second and third tier sub-contractors.
The deadline for receipt of applications to attend is Friday, 12 October. For further information contact Clementina Upton on 020 7928 9199 or email events@maritimeindustries.org
