The tender is currently in the planning stage, with quotations sought for services up to a budget of approximately £50,000. Interested companies should note that the contract period is set from 17 December 2021 to 15 March 2022. Final communications regarding the tender are expected by 23 November 2021, and further details can be found in the technical specifications document available online. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in marine engineering and repair services. Companies with expertise in the maintenance of autonomous marine vehicles or similar technologies would be particularly well-suited to compete. The collaboration between the University of Plymouth and the Royal Navy highlights the project's importance in advancing marine data gathering for academic and research purposes, making it an attractive prospect for SMEs aiming to enhance their portfolio in the marine sector. ## Notice Quotations are sought for refit and repair to the Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) C-Enduro platform 'USV Bauza', on behalf of the University of Plymouth and the Royal Navy. USV Bauza is owned by the Royal Navy, on loan to the university as a collaborative demonstrator for Marine Data Gathering (MDG) roles and conventional academic oceanography. USV Bauza is a C Enduro class, uncrewed surface vessel built by ASV global (Now L3 Harris) in 2017. It was designed as a long endurance, uncrewed, remote controlled/autonomous marine surface vehicle, used to collect data at sea through the integration of a bespoke payload suite. To this purpose, companies are invited to review the specification document and propose quotations for services to refit USV Bauza to sea acceptance and serviceable use. We are working to a budget of or around PS50,000. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Nov 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Dec 2021 - 15 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL4 8AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Drake | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50241100 - Vessel repair services ## Release History - 19 Nov 2021 at 14:32 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e - 9 Nov 2021 at 09:28 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e - 5 Nov 2021 at 11:47 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e - 5 Nov 2021 at 11:38 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e - 5 Nov 2021 at 11:35 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39745ade-5837-45f0-9e44-3a18f2d7961e 19th November 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7cf1703a-2b9f-4287-81d0-b9372c3b49de - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/97b6d55d-08a6-4e9e-b873-3a5e53ecee41 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
