Provision of pressure tolerant battery module assembly

National Oceanography Centre · Contract details notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 4 Oct 2026, 20:26.

Opportunity overview

We require the purchase of approximately 40 pressure‑tolerant battery modules to support the build and operation of the Autosub5 platform. These batteries are specialist components designed for subsea use, and their correct assembly is critical to ensure safety, performance, and operational integrity. The supplier is therefore required to deliver each battery module as a ready‑to‑install assembly, built to the relevant technical specifications for deep‑water, pressure‑tolerant applications. The total quantity to be supplied is approximately 40 units, delivered in a format suitable for direct integration into Autosub5 without further assembly.
