Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has initiated the planning phase for the procurement of Marine Marker Capability under the title "DGM/2045-Procurement of Marine Marker Capability." This project aims to replace the existing Float Smoke Flame N2 Mk4 with an advanced marine marker that will enhance maritime marking capabilities. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Fireworks" and targets delivery to multiple locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. Key details include an engagement end date of 15th November 2024 and an early engagement notice published on 11th December 2023. The following specifications are sought: coloured smoke excluding grey and red with a smoke duration of minimum 4 minutes, operational viability in sea state 6 or 50kts wind speed and deployability from aircraft at 180kts, 400ft above water. Interested parties are invited to submit their responses to the authority at niccolo.baratti100@mod.gov.uk or paul.brister148@mod.gov.uk by the stated deadlines.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in marine safety products, particularly those capable of producing marine markers with specific capabilities such as high-visibility smoke and flame, integration into existing platforms, and operability under adverse conditions. This procurement process is ideal for SMEs with innovative solutions that align with the Ministry of Defence's technical requirements. Companies offering off-the-shelf products or with the ability to support development programmes are encouraged to participate. Additionally, businesses should be capable of supplying products that comply with UK and international laws and can be adapted for deployment from aerial platforms. This project represents a significant growth opportunity for companies within the defence and maritime sectors to secure a position as a supplier to the UK Ministry of Defence.
