Naval Ships Support, part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to Kongsberg Maritime Ltd (“Kongsberg”) for the support of the Hydrographic Sonar System, which is installed on board a number of Royal Navy vessels. The contract will have a duration of three years, plus one option year.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 32(2)(b)(ii) of Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015) for technical reasons.

Only Kongsberg holds all the available technical information (drawings, interfaces, test and calibration specifications/procedures, jigs and tools etc.) necessary to undertake the full in-service support of the system and to ensure that it operates safely as part of a wider Integrated Survey System, which together collects and processes data to meet the standards dictated by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office and International Hydrographic Organisation.
