We are delighted to have been awarded two multi-year, multi-million-pound contracts to support the Royal Navy's Chief Digital and Information Officer in achieving their strategy whilst also supporting current operations. The awards cement our long-standing partnership with Navy Digital and the Royal Navy and aligns with the recent Strategic Defence Review 2025 that places digital transformation at the heart of future military operations. 

The first of these awards is for our team of maritime domain specialists to help embed digital at the heart of every Royal Navy acquisition programme, supported by Envitia Ltd, as our data governance and autonomy partners. This contract will ensure that programme Senior Responsible Owners across Navy Command have the right skillsets and specialists to realise the digital backbone for all maritime operational acquisition activity. 

The second award is to continue our Navy Digital Portfolio Office service that provides a portfolio, project, and programme management team (P3M) and maritime domain specialists to Navy Headquarters. Our experts will be supporting the assurance, governance, and business resource management of all digital activity. Although situated within Navy Digital, this service benefits all Royal Navy activity.

Simon Ward, Capability Manager at Frazer-Nash commented: “It is a huge privilege to be able to continue to work hand-in-glove with the Royal Navy’s Digital Directorate over the coming years. We have already established a strong working relationship through our previous Portfolio Office support and are excited to build on this further with our expertise and one team approach.”
Daren Copus, Royal Navy CDIO Head Office, adds: “In an increasingly complex digital environment, effective partnerships play a key part in helping the Royal Navy accelerate its capabilities and remain at the forefront of modern warfare. We are looking forward to working with Frazer-Nash to realise key strategic aspirations and deliver for the front line of today and tomorrow.”
