Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, UK, has embarked on a procurement process for diving instruments, specifically Dive computers, categorised under goods. This contract follows a selective procurement method, where negotiations occur alongside the publication of a contract notice. The award phase was completed with Elizabeth Flynn, a supplier also based in Bristol, being the successful bidder. The contract, valued at £38,000, was signed on 19th January 2026, with the criteria centred on offering the lowest price.

This tender is particularly promising for companies specialising in diving equipment, as it offers a niche opportunity to supply to a significant governmental body, thereby enhancing their market presence. Businesses that are agile, competitive in pricing, and capable of meeting specific requirements with high-quality goods would benefit from engaging in such selective procurement processes. The Defence sector often demands reliability and precision, making this an excellent prospect for suppliers with expertise in manufacturing or supplying technologically advanced diving instruments.
