SSN-AUKUS BUILD PROGRAM

SSN-AUKUS Build Program - Industry Opportunities

Australia, United Kingdom and United States have joined together through the AUKUS partnership to identify an Optimal Pathway to deliver an enduring nuclear-powered submarine (SSN) capability for Australia, referred to as AUKUS Pillar 1.
ASC and BAE Systems were selected to build and deliver Australia's SSN-AUKUS submarines, as part of the SSN-AUKUS Build Program (AUKUS Pillar 1, Phase 3) (SSN-AUKUS Build Program).

AUKUS Pillar 1, Phase 3 - the SSN-AUKUS Build Program

The SSN-AUKUS Build Program's first SSN-AUKUS submarine is intended to be built in Osborne, South Australia. Australia plans to deliver the first Australian-built SSN-AUKUS to the Royal Australian Navy in the early 2040s.

The SSN-AUKUS Build Program is one of the most significant industrial undertakings in Australia's history, and will deliver world-leading maritime capability, advanced manufacturing, industry growth, high paid, high skilled jobs, and infrastructure for decades to come.

This once-in-a-generation, multi-decade endeavour requires an unprecedented industrial transformation, and Australian industry is invited and encouraged to express their interest in potential future opportunities to be part of the SSN-AUKUS Build Program.

How to Register Interest in the SSN-AUKUS Build Program

Stay connected with potential future opportunities by registering your interest to participate in the SSN-AUKUS Build Program. To identify the types of products and services your organisation provides, please complete the 'Supplier Capability Questionnaire' Expression of Interest (EOI) in the Work Packages tab above.

If you have previously submitted an EOI for the work packages titled Supplier Capability Questionnaire or Keep me updated through the Australian Submarine Agency's AUKUS Pillar 1 - Industry Portal, you do not need to re-submit. However, you are encouraged to review and update the information you have previously completed to ensure it is up to date, and because the current Supplier Capability Questionnaire is different to the previous Australian Submarine Agency questionnaire. You can view and edit your organisation's EOIs via your ICN Gateway profile dashboard. They are now listed under the project name SSN-AUKUS Build Program.

Refer to the 'EOI User Guide' in the Project Documents below for instructions and assistance on how to submit an EOI. By filling out the questionnaire your organisation will stay connected with the Shipbuilder.

To submit an initial EOI, companies must have an active ICN Gateway company profile. Information on how to create your company profile is also detailed below.
