## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process titled "Contract Award Notice for Transparency Purposes Only - Provision of Hydrographic Support." This contract, valued at £593,745, falls within the software package and information systems category and is focused on providing annual extended warranties for POS MV firmware and POSView software, as well as one health check per vessel. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure through a negotiated process without prior publication, and the relevant contract period spans from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2026. The procurement was conducted in Bristol, located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the tender period concluding on 31 March 2020.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software development and maintenance services. Companies that offer technological solutions for hydrographic support and those capable of providing POS system enhancements or warranties would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, benefiting from the Ministry of Defence's commitment to transparency and support for SMEs in the procurement process.
