## Summary

ORE Catapult commissioned a marine survey campaign in the Pembrokeshire Demonstration Zone in Wales. The work is marine research and survey services, intended to deliver a survey campaign in the designated demonstration zone. This is a single-service requirement for a suitably experienced marine survey contractor, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The buyer is ORE Catapult, a public undertaking involved in offshore renewable energy. The delivery area is Pembrokeshire, Wales.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ocean Ecology Limited. ORE Catapult used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award date was 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 10 October to 31 December 2026. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published data does not set out an evaluation basis beyond the direct award route.

The award shows demand from ORE Catapult for specialist marine survey capability in the Pembrokeshire Demonstration Zone. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable experience delivering marine survey campaigns in Welsh waters and the capability to provide marine research and survey services within a defined offshore demonstration area. The selected supplier was Ocean Ecology Limited, a large supplier, indicating that this award was made to an established provider. The recorded requirement is focused on marine survey work for this buyer; suppliers whose expertise is limited to unrelated environmental, engineering or general consultancy services would not match its stated scope.
