## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract to TEKEVER LTD for the provision of maritime theatre lift capabilities to enhance logistic resupply for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore operations. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method with a restricted procedure. The contract value is £1,250,000, signed on 27th November 2023, targeting the category of services under military research and technology.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies in the defence services sector with expertise in developing autonomous maritime capabilities. Interested businesses must focus on meeting the technical and social value criteria outlined in the award process to compete effectively. The procurement aims to enable the Royal Navy to enhance its operational agility and cost-effectiveness in maritime logistics through advanced autonomous systems.

## Notice

The Royal Navy requires both intra and inter autonomous maritime theatre lift capabilities in order to create a more cost effective and operationally agile logistic resupply solution for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore capabilities, capable of being operated with minimal user involvement and minimal change to ships' infrastructure, systems and SOPs, whilst safely initiating deck landing automatically / autonomously, after navigating to and accurately locating the target vessel, in challenging day/night maritime operational environments. In order to fully prove the capability and deliver at pace of technological change, the Authority needs to understand effective routes to clearing these systems onto the Military Register; the ability to undertake Ship-Air clearances; the ability to automatically/ autonomously land and take off from shore and ships at sea, whilst being capable of advancing from Remotely Piloted Air Systems to Command and Control of an autonomous air system by RN programmers/operators.
