## Summary

The University of Plymouth recently completed a procurement process titled "STEMM Equipment", focused on acquiring the Deep Trekker PIVOT EXPERT Package with a 300-metre tether. This effort falls under the goods category and involved below-threshold procurement. The contract was awarded on 24th September 2025, following a tender initiation, to PLANET OCEAN LTD, a supplier based in Camberley, United Kingdom. While the procurement process is marked as complete, the contract period spanned from 15th to 17th August 2025, with a contract value of £42,000. Deliveries of the equipment cover a broad range of UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the instrumentation and control equipment sector. Firms with capabilities in producing innovative equipment packages suited for scientific exploration and research, especially those with a focus on STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine), would find this tender type beneficial. Suppliers who can offer cutting-edge and reliable technological products are well-placed to compete in similar future tenders from educational institutions like the University of Plymouth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as PLANET OCEAN LTD, also demonstrate that there is successful synergy between academic buyers and agile, specialised suppliers.
