This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically unmanned combat aerial vehicles. The contract involves a selective procurement method and has been awarded through a restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £4,501,831.71, was signed on 20 February 2025 and aims to facilitate additional procurements of OWEs and their spares. The main delivery location is the UK. This contract offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in defence technologies and unmanned aerial vehicles. Companies equipped to handle fast-paced production and capable of meeting stringent technical requirements stand to benefit from this tender. As this contract includes options for further purchases, it is particularly advantageous for firms with scalable capabilities in warfare technology. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in cutting-edge defence solutions and rapid delivery schedules would be well-suited to compete. ## Notice Single source 2-year contract for the purchase of One Way Effectors (OWE) ### Lot Information Lot 1 One Way Effectors (OWE) Options: Additional procurements of One Way Effectors (OWE) and spares ### Procurement Information The Secretary of State for Defence, acting through DE&S (the "Authority") intends to award Modini Limited a direct contract for the supply of One Way Effector (OWE) systems for Project ASGARD in support of Op CABRIT. The estimated value of this contract is PS7.5m and the proposed term is 24 Months. This will be awarded as a call-off contract under the Human Machine Teaming (HMT) Framework, contract reference 702953450. Project ASGARD will be a software-defined, network enabled reconnaissance and strike complex, consisting a suite of digital and data components that enable decision support. This software defined approach will provide an 'any sensor to any effector' decision advantage capability. The procurement to which this notice relates will be for the one way effector systems only, with the other elements of ASGARD being subject to separate procurements. In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011, as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that award of the contract using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because the Authority has identified strict technical impracticality for a supplier other than the chosen supplier to achieve the Authority's technical requirements as it is necessary to use specific knowledge, tools or means which only MODINI Limited currently has at its disposal. More specifically this relates to the mandatory performance characteristics of the required solution, namely payload weight, scalability, range, max speed and terrain following capability. Due to the particular timescales for this requirement, it was also identified that only Modini could reach the Authority's strict and necessary deadlines for production and delivery of the hardware for Spring 25 & be deployed on Op Cabrit in Summer 25. It should be noted that Project ASGARD is intended to meet a specific, near-term capability need and will not define technical solutions for UK MOD's longer term OWE based capability requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016072-2025 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £12,001,831 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MODINI | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35613100 - Unmanned combat aerial vehicles ## Release History - 17 Apr 2025 at 18:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016072-2025 - 18 Dec 2024 at 13:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040775-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.contracts.mod.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
