Unmanned Marine Systems: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to implement a new project to replace Project Lily.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Project Lily related to a proposed procurement to deliver an uncrewed surface vessel and associated remote operations centre capability. Project Lily was cancelled following a decision to consider alternative internal options to meet this requirement. The decision on whether to pursue a replacement competition or an alternative approach is under consideration in line with procurement rules. Should any future procurement be required, details of the opportunity will be published in the usual way via the Defence Sourcing Portal
