NSPA tender award Portugal frigatesAs of October 2025, the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has not yet awarded the contract for the mid-life modernization of the Portuguese Navy's Vasco da Gama-class frigates. The tender process is ongoing. The NSPA issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the modernization of two frigates (NRP Álvares Cabral and NRP Corte-Real) on April 18, 2024, with a bid closing date of June 30, 2024. Five bids were received from the following companies: Rafael Advanced Defense SystemsElbit SystemsThales Edisoft PortugalLockheed Martin Canada CDLTurkish STM The program has a budget of up to EUR 120 million and calls for the modification of the first frigate between 2026 and 2028 at the Portuguese state-owned shipyard Arsenal do Alfeite. The modernization is intended to extend the service life of these vessels until they can be eventually replaced by new frigates. While no contract has been signed for the frigate modernization, the Portuguese Navy did award a separate contract to Turkey's STM in December 2024 for the construction of two Multirole Logistics Support Ships.
