National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy Secretariat NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Secrétariat la stratégie nationale d’approvisionnement en matière de construction navale STRATÉGIEde NATIONALE D’APPROVISIONNEMENT EN MATIÈRE DE CONSTRUCTION NAVALE National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS) Technical Briefing October 2011 Final 1 National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy Secretariat NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Secrétariat la stratégie nationale d’approvisionnement en matière de construction navale STRATÉGIEde NATIONALE D’APPROVISIONNEMENT EN MATIÈRE DE CONSTRUCTION NAVALE National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy • Establish a strategic relationship with two Canadian shipyards and designate them as source of supply to build government’s large ships, where: – One shipyard will build the combat vessels package: • Arctic/offshore patrol ship, Canadian surface combatant. – The other will build the non-combat vessels package: • Offshore oceanographic science vessel, offshore fisheries science vessel, polar icebreaker, joint support ship. • Set aside smaller vessels for competition by other than the two selected yards and their affiliates; • Repair, maintenance and refit remains business as usual. 2 National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy Secretariat NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Secrétariat la stratégie nationale d’approvisionnement en matière de construction navale STRATÉGIEde NATIONALE D’APPROVISIONNEMENT EN MATIÈRE DE CONSTRUCTION NAVALE Economic Benefits for Canada • The Government has recognized a once-in-a-generation opportunity to leverage its fleet renewal investment to foster a stronger, more sustainable Canadian marine industry. • The Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) has estimated that the renewal of the federal fleet will support 15,000 jobs annually in communities across Canada over the next 30 years. (Sovereignty, Security and Prosperity – Government Ships, May 2009) • Canada’s marine industries are broader than the ship construction that occurs in shipyards and involves many hundreds of Canadian companies, most of them small and medium enterprises. • The Industrial and Regional Benefits Policy will ensure that the full value of the resulting contracts (both shipyard and non-shipyard related work) is leveraged back into the Canadian economy. 3 National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy Secretariat NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Secrétariat la stratégie nationale
