## Summary

The procurement process described is for the "Annual Multi-Instrument Geotek Service Contract," overseen by the National Oceanography Centre, located in Southampton, United Kingdom. This contract involves the maintenance of the BOSCORF Geotek Instrument suite and has been directly awarded to GEOTEK Ltd, without competitive bidding, as it is below the procurement threshold. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to the repair and maintenance of measuring, testing, and checking apparatus. The contract is active, having been signed on 7th May 2025, and will run until 1st April 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the maintenance and servicing of scientific equipment, particularly those familiar with proprietary instruments.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience might find themselves well-suited for such contracts, as evidenced by the successful procurement by GEOTEK Ltd, an established SME in the industry.
