## Summary

The public procurement process for the "DGM/2058 Disposal of Inert Depth Charge Practice Charge Bodies" was initiated by the Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the weapons and ammunition disposal services industry category and is classified as a service procurement. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase as of 9th September 2025, with the contract being signed on 9th July 2025. This project involved the limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to protection of exclusive rights held by Portsmouth Aviation Ltd, the designated supplier and design authority for the Mk11 Depth Charge. The contract carries a value of £56,398 and covers services to be delivered in the UK.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in specialised disposal and defence-related services to collaborate with important entities like the Ministry of Defence and Portsmouth Aviation Ltd. Companies with expertise in the disposal of military equipment and the protection of intellectual property rights would be particularly well-suited to compete. Although the procurement was directly awarded to Portsmouth Aviation Ltd due to their exclusive rights and expertise, future similar procurements may require competitive tenders, creating potential growth avenues for companies capable of meeting stringent defence contracting requirements.
