Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process titled "Bluefin 9 Sonar Trial," which aimed at the delivery of sonar trials and associated reporting documentation. This low-value contract, valued at £100,000, fell under the industry category of 'Test and evaluation of military electronic systems'. The procurement was executed through a direct method, classified as a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 15th October 2019 and concluded on 31st December 2019, with the award date being 15th October 2019.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in military electronic systems and related services. Companies that specialise in testing and evaluation equipment, particularly those with experience in military contracts, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The non-competitive nature of this contract indicates that the Ministry of Defence is focused on establishing reliable suppliers for specialised services, which could lead to further engagements in this niche sector.
