Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the Seafox MDS Transition Contract, which involved transitioning from the incumbent contractor to a new contractor for the Seafox mine disposal system. This public procurement project is categorised under services, specifically focusing on unmanned underwater vehicles and mine hunter/minesweeper solutions. The contract, valued at £190,000, commenced on 1st October 2019 and concluded on 10th December 2019. The procurement process was conducted through a direct method, characterised by a single tender action, as it was below the specified threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the defence and marine technology sectors, particularly those that specialise in unmanned underwater systems and mine disposal solutions. Companies capable of providing related services and innovative technologies would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The involvement of a large supplier like Ultra Electronics Limited indicates the competitive landscape, which could favour enterprises with proven experience and robust capabilities in delivering complex defence-related projects.
