UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defence Equipment and Support, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the award phase for the procurement process titled "Survey of Wreck Orp Kujawiak." This project involves developing a 3D digital model of the ORP KUJAWIAK wreck and preparing an analytical report to assess its environmental and safety impact. The procurement falls under the defence and security special regime and has been executed directly, below the threshold, without competition. The contract commenced on 5th February 2026 and will conclude by 31st March 2026, located in Bristol, UK, with a gross contract value of £48,000.

The procurement provides a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in marine research services, specifically those capable of delivering specialised services such as digital modelling and environmental analysis. Cwaves Limited, a large-scale enterprise based in Beaconsfield, UK, has been successfully awarded this contract, indicating that businesses with expertise in technical and environmental assessments, particularly within the marine research sector, may find similar opportunities in defence-related projects to foster growth. This type of contract is well-suited to enterprises that can meet the unique requirements posed by defence and security initiatives without needing the open competition typically present in larger public tenders.
