Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is initiating the procurement process for "Project ASURVEY - VTN", which involves the acquisition of specialist vehicles for the UK’s defence sector. This limited procurement method aims to award a contract directly to Donecle, owing to the technical exclusivity of the required automated aircraft inspection capability for the RAF’s Poseidon MRA-Mk1 (P8-A), ensuring detailed damage mapping of the airframe. The contract has a total value of £84,000 and was signed on 13th May 2022. This procurement is currently at the award stage and is located in High Wycombe, UK.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in advanced inspection technologies and automated equipment tailored for military applications. Given the specific security requirements of the project, companies that can demonstrate expertise in developing sophisticated and unique aviation technology are well-positioned to compete. This will particularly benefit firms that can meet the technical specifications and comply with the unique demands of defence contracts.
