Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

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.
