    Brief

    The C2TNC team is seeking to award a direct contract to UltraMaritime (UM) for PDM4 Obsolescence Resolution services. This direct award is justified under Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits direct awards when a supplier's technical capabilities are essential to project success. UltraMaritime possesses unique expertise in managing the intellectual property rights (IPR), technical specifications, and safety-critical aspects of the vessel equipment, interfaces, and interoperable systems that cannot be easily replicated. The contract will be negotiated with UM and notified to the market through a Transparency Notice to ensure full compliance with the Procurement Act's transparency requirements. Interested suppliers may review the Transparency Notice for details on the direct award justification and procurement process.
