The Ministry aims to purchase mine-hunting ship modernization services from VLG without a competition

The Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence plans to procure modernization services for a mine-hunting vessel from VLG without a competitive tender, citing national security interests.

The Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence (KAM) has prepared a decision project that proposes purchasing modernization services for a mine-hunting military ship from VLG without a competitive bid. The decision underscores the necessity of enhancing the capabilities of the Lithuanian Navy, particularly through the modernization of the country's meager fleet that currently consists of only two operational 'Hunt' class mine-hunting vessels. The absence of a disclosed price for these services raises questions about transparency in military spending.
