MOD Awards £18 Million Contract to Forum Energy Technologies for Advanced ROV Solution
The Ministry of Defence has announced a significant contract with Forum Energy Technology (UK) Ltd (FET), valued at up to £18 million, for the provision of a state-of-the-art Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), spares, and in-service support.
Spanning 31 months from 2 September 2024 to 31 March 2027, this contract underscores the MOD's commitment to enhancing underwater capabilities with cutting-edge technology from UK manufacturers.
The Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) division of the Ministry of Defence has chosen to award this contract directly to FET, citing national security reasons. According to SALMO, FET is the only provider that can fully meet all the Key User Requirements (KURs), including depth rating, payload capacity, dynamic positioning, and being a UK Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
This partnership is a testament to the Ministry of Defence's focus on securing advanced and reliable solutions for our national Defence operations.
