Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) Mine Investigation and Exploitation by Remote Operated Vehicle (MIE ROV) project team, part of the UK MOD, intend to award a contract to Atlantas Marine Ltd valued at approximately PS1 million, for the provision of three Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).

It is considered that this contract can be awarded using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulations 16(1)(b)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for additional supply reasons. Atlantas Marine Ltd is the only authorised UK supplier of the Videoray Defender ROV.
