Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom is seeking to procure maritime engineering, diving, and salvage services for the South Atlantic Islands through a tender process initiated on March 19, 2021. The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically diving services, with an estimated contract value of £6,325,000. This contract has a term of three years, with the option for three additional years. The procurement was conducted via a limited negotiated procedure without a prior publication notice, owing to technical requirements that restricted the award to a specific supplier. The related tender, titled "701551482- S&MOCB/3380," has reached the award stage, with Briggs Marine Contractors Limited being identified as the supplier.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in maritime engineering, diving, and salvage operations, particularly those with capabilities tailored to the unique environment of the South Atlantic Islands. Companies with experience in military or defence-related contracts may find this tender especially relevant, along with those skilled in providing engineering support for remote marine activities. The structured contract allows for potential partnerships or subcontracting, offering pathways for smaller firms to collaborate with the awarded supplier, thus paving the way for business growth in defence-related sectors.
