    Brief

    This is a single-source procurement opportunity under the Procurement Act 2023 to award a contract to University College London (UCL) for the delivery of the Ship Design and Advanced Concepts (SDAC) course and MSc Naval Architecture programme. The contract aims to support the continued development of engineering students entering the Defence and Nuclear sectors. The single-source justification is based on UCL's exclusive intellectual property rights and technical expertise in this specialized field, the absence of competitive alternatives for this technical training, and the lack of reasonable substitute options. Although not formally classified as a Defence & Security Contract under Section 7 of the Procurement Act 2023, this procurement directly supports the operational capability, readiness, and security of the armed forces through the development of skilled personnel in maritime and nuclear engineering, as referenced in Section 1, Subsection G of the Act.
