## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is undertaking a contract award for the provision of hydrographic support, primarily involving specialist software to facilitate data gathering by hydrographic sonar systems. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category, with a total contract value of £162,465.28. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2020, lasting until 31st March 2024. The procurement process was conducted via a limited method, specifically through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the tender concluded on 31st March 2020. The contract will be delivered to a location in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on software development and hydrographic data analysis services. Companies that specialise in creating data processing software or similar information systems would be particularly well-suited to engage in this sector. Given that the awarded supplier, Teledyne CARIS, operates as a small-to-medium enterprise, there is further potential for SMEs to compete for future opportunities in contracts related to hydrographic support and data analytics services within the Ministry of Defence and similar organisations.
