## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, part of the UK Government, has completed a tender process for the purchase of an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle system. The procurement falls under the "goods" category and involves the purchase of a Defender ROV with one year of support. The Royal Navy, as the buyer, is awarding a 5-year contract worth £478,000 to Atlantas Marine Ltd for the purchase and support of the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) VideoRay Specialist Defender System. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the marine technology sector, particularly those specialising in unmanned underwater vehicles. The contract awarded to Atlantas Marine Ltd underscores their expertise in supplying the specific ROV required by the Royal Navy due to technical compatibility reasons. Businesses interested in providing similar specialised equipment to government agencies may find potential growth opportunities through understanding the specific needs and requirements of such procurement processes.

### Procurement Information

The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a 5 year contract with a value of PS478,000.00 to Atlantas Marine Ltd for purchase and support of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) VideoRay Specialist Defender System. In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (DSPCR 2011) as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. Atlantas Marine Ltd is the only authorised UK supplier of the Videoray Defender ROV which in turn is the only ROV on the market that meets both the Royal Navy specification and is interoperable with existing MOD owned modular systems whose design is owned by VideoRay LLC. Other systems would not be compatible with the units already in service with the Royal Naby and would result in incompatibility between the UK MOD's existing ROVs and/or disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation or maintenance of the existing ROVs.
