KBS Maritime is thrilled to announce a new partnership with STEM Returners, an organisation dedicated to supporting talented professionals returning to careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This collaboration underlines our ongoing commitment to fostering diversity, inclusion, and opportunity.
Strategic Suppliers
Our delivery model is predicated on a ‘best athlete’ approach to supporting Naval outputs. Through a series of Framework Agreements, we ensure that our Strategic Estates and Project Delivery teams have access to ideas and specialist resources to address the current and future needs of the Navy Base.
By providing visibility of the Royal Navy’s 20 Year Estate Plan, we are able to establish long-term relationships with our Technical Services, Project and Service Delivery partners.
In addition, we work with over 200 SME’s to deliver minor works and maintenance service across the Naval Base.
