Tenders for the new vessels will be due by April, with a construction contract award expected by the end of the year. Current plans call for a seven-year lease beginning in mid-2006 and ending in 2012. The MoD would like to lease two vessels with a total cost not to exceed the current five-year operational costs of the Castle-class vessels. The current costs of maintaining and operating the two Castle-class vessels is estimated at $87.7 million over a five-year period.
