in the 2010 strategic defence and security review a replacement programme was authorized for the navy's fleet of thirteen type 23 frigates. in 2012, bae systems naval ships was awarded a contract to design the replacement, known as the type 26 global combat ship (gcs). it was planned that two variants of the class would be built: five general purpose frigates and eight anti-submarine warfare frigates. according to the current timeline, construction will begin in 2016, with the first type 26 frigate commissioning in 2021 and the last commissioning in the mid-2030s whilst the type 23s are gradually phased out. eight type 26 frigates will be built initially. the five remaining ships will be covered by a new class of lighter, flexible general purpose frigate, known as the type 31e frigate or general purpose frigate (gpff). according to the strategic defence and security review 2015, the lower cost of these frigates could lead to the royal navy acquiring more than five of them, thus increasing its numbers of frigates and destroyers. in july 2016, bae revealed two type 31e designs, namely the avenger-class and the cutlass-class. work on the first type 26 frigate, hms "glasgow", began in july 2017. on 6 september 2017, the uk government committed to building a first batch of five type 31e frigates. on 26 july 2018 the government ‘paused’ the procurement citing the fact that neither of the submissions met the £250m price point. it stated that it would restart the procurement shortly. on 10 december 2018, three groups were selected for the competitive design phase: bae systems/cammell laird with their planned "leander" design, babcock/bmt/thales with their "arrowhead 140" design and atlas elektronik uk/thyssenkrup marine systems, which is likely to be based on the meko a-200 design.
