## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for the purchase of AUV launch and recovery Training Aid. The contract, valued at £45,000 GBP, was awarded to SeaBot Maritime. The procurement method used was limited, with a single-source contract award due to no tender responses following a failed competition in April 2023. The award was made on the 27th of October 2023. The Ministry of Defence, located in Bristol, UK, is the buying organisation in the Defence industry category.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in goods related to survey vessels to engage with the Ministry of Defence. Companies involved in the manufacturing, supply, or servicing of AUV launch and recovery Training Aid equipment would be well-suited to compete. Understanding the procurement method used and the rationale behind the single-source contract award can provide insights for businesses aiming to participate in similar future procurement opportunities within the Defence industry.
