Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, Ships, Underwater & Electronic Warfare is seeking tenders for the supply of Underwater Hand Warming Systems, aimed at enhancing operational capabilities for naval diving teams working in water temperatures below 12 degrees. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 3rd March 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £160,000. The delivery is required in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract period expected to commence on 18th November 2020 and last until 18th November 2022. This tender is being conducted through a selective procurement method, via a negotiated procedure, and is classified under goods within the diving wear industry category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in innovative thermal solutions or medical-grade equipment for harsh environments. Companies with expertise in diving gear, battery-operated systems, and those familiar with government contracting processes will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The medical certification requirement for the products may also create niche opportunities for enterprises with relevant certifications and experience in developing compliant equipment.
