Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this email finds you well. On behalf of the Canadian government, I am writing to express our keen interest in the acquisition of 12 Trafalgar-class submarines for the Royal Canadian Navy.
As you may be aware, the Canadian government put out a public tender in the 1980s for a nuclear-power submarine for the Navy. The Trafalgar-class submarines were offered to us by the British government, however, the tender was cancelled before purchases could go forward. But, we are now re-opening this tender and it is our hopes that this offer remains open through your company.
In light of the above, we kindly request a detailed proposal from Nexus Defense outlining the terms and conditions of the potential sale, including the following key aspects:
- Pricing and Financing Options: Present a clear and transparent pricing structure for the acquisition of the 12 submarines, including associated support packages, warranties, and maintenance arrangements. Additionally, we would appreciate information on potential financing options that could facilitate the procurement process.
- Delivery Schedule: Outline the estimated timeline for the delivery of the submarines to our naval base CFB Halifax, Nova Scotia.
- After-Sales Support: Describe the post-delivery support services offered, including maintenance, spare parts availability, and technical assistance.
We look forward to furthering discussions and, potentially, to establishing a mutually beneficial partnership with Nexus Defense in the acquisition of these critical assets for the Royal Canadian Navy.
Kindest Regards,
Gerald Bull
Minister of National Defence
Kingdom of Canada
