This procurement process, identified as GSS25240, was conducted using a direct method without competition due to the specific technical requirements of the project.

The total value of the contract is £22,218.36, inclusive of VAT.

This tender provides a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for suppliers within the underwater technology industry who can meet unique technical specifications.
