Published justification

Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) Mine Investigation and Exploitation by Remote Operated Vehicle (MIE ROV) project team, part of the UK MOD, intend to award a contract to Atlantas Marine Ltd valued at approximately £1 million, for the provision of three Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The DSTL MIE ROV project team require three ROVs in order to deliver a proof of concept demonstration to their customer.

It is considered that this contract can be awarded using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulations 16(1)(b)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for additional supply reasons.

Atlantas Marine Ltd is the only authorised UK supplier of the Videoray Defender ROV. To acquire ROVs which have different technical characteristics to the existing VideoRay Defender ROVs operated by the UK MOD would result in incompatibility between the UK MOD’s existing ROVs and/or disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation or maintenance of the existing ROVs.
