NSPS Background
Why a new Strategy?
• Navy and Coast Guard fleets require renewal
• Government and other studies determined that individual procurements
would not sustain the shipbuilding industry
• To end the boom and bust in federal shipbuilding
• All of our allies have an “NSPS” in some form
• Need to maximize limited budgets for fleet renewal – value for money for
taxpayers
• Requested and supported by industry and associations

Strategy
Establish a strategic relationship with two Canadian
shipyards and designate them as source of supply to build
Government ships over 1000 tonnes displacement, where:
1.
One shipyard will build the combat vessels package
•
2.
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 – Business as usual

Enhanced Measures
Unprecedented lengths to ensure the fairness, openness and
transparency of this historic procurement process
• Regular meetings with the shipyards to develop procurement approach
and Request For Proposal documents
• An internationally recognized third party expert (FMI) has benchmarked
the capability and performance of the yards
• A leading consulting firm (KPMG) assisted in development of the
procurement process
• Fairness Monitor involved to provide independent assurance that
activities are conducted in a fair, open and transparent manner
– interim report at RFP release: “… decisions are made objectively, free from personal
favouritism and political influence, and encompasses the elements of openness,
competitiveness, transparency and compliance.”
• Robust governance, empowered decision making, dispute avoidance and
resolution
