Overview

The Royal Navy has awarded a 2+2 year in-service support and trials contract valued at £7,000,000 to Teledyne Instruments Inc for HECLA 5, covering operational support and maintenance of the Slocum glider fleet and associated oceanographic systems. The direct award was justified under the Procurement Act 2023 because Teledyne, as the original equipment manufacturer, possesses essential operational expertise, proprietary technical knowledge, and established strategic partnerships that alternative suppliers could not replicate without causing operational incompatibility and technical difficulties. The contract is currently in delivery or complete.
