Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Equipment & Support organisation has completed the procurement process for the provision and support of Merlin Mk2 sonobuoys. This service contract was valued at £24,457,755 and spans a period of three years, with provisions for three optional one-year extensions. The contract commenced on 1st January 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2021. The procurement used a direct method, specifically a single tender action, as it fell below the official threshold.
