Direct award

Direct award justification

  • Single supplier - technical reasons
  • Additional or repeat goods, services or works - further goods, services or works following a competitive procedure

This equipment will be integrated with the current simulation centre, procured with Kongsberg, purchasing the equipment from another supplier would not be technically viable without the purchase of a different system. To purchase a completely new simulation centre would not be operationally viable and extremely costly.
