Summary of the contracting process

The Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has completed a procurement process for the "Project A Experimentation Coda Octopus" contract. This tender, classified under the goods category and specifically related to sonar technology (CPV code: 38113000), was awarded to Coda Octopus Products Limited for a total value of £180,400. The contract aims to provide a 3D sonar and accessories to support the Royal Navy’s capability assessments of a small remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for mine countermeasures and explosive ordnance disposal activities. The procurement method used was a limited negotiation without prior publication of a contract notice due to technical reasons, as Coda Octopus is the sole manufacturer of the required products.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced sonar technology, particularly those involved in the defence sector. Companies that manufacture or supply innovative marine and underwater robotics equipment could leverage this contract to enhance their visibility within the military and government procurement landscape. The successful execution of such contracts not only drives business growth but may also lead to future collaborations with UK MOD projects, especially for organisations focused on specialised engineering and technological solutions in defence applications.
