Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Procurement of Surface Self-Propelled Sonar System" is managed by Chemonics International, Inc., on behalf of the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office as part of the Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine Phase 2 (PFRU-2). This tender invites suppliers in the sonar industry category to submit proposals by the 28th of November 2025, as the procurement is currently in the tender stage. Located in Ukraine, the project will accept price proposals in either Ukrainian or English and is classified as selective, using a restricted procedure above the threshold. The contract period extends from 14th December 2025 to 15th December 2026, focusing on goods within the CPV classification code 38113000, which includes sonars, echo sounders, and radar apparatus. Interested businesses should note the deadline for questions related to the tender conditions is the 20th of November 2025.

The tender presents opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialised in sonar systems and self-propelled technology, as well as those experienced in supplying to large-scale international projects. With its exemption from taxes and fees in the partner country, this tender could be especially appealing for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of fulfilling high-value orders without VAT impositions. The procurement method's selective nature implies competition will be limited to suppliers who meet specified criteria, potentially offering a competitive edge to well-qualified entities in this technical field. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their footprint in the Ukrainian market and beyond, while aligning with significant international procurement standards.
