Published justification

The equipment to be supplied is Fit-to-Receive kits for the Sonar 2170 SSTD which the MoD owns and utilises across UK MOD Platforms. Therefore, it is a key requirement that it is interoperable with the existing Sonar 1270 SSTD currently utilised. Ultra Electronics Limited has been identified as the only supplier capable of fulfilling this requirement as they are the sole manufacturer of the FTR kits and are the sole supplier holding specific technical data required for the performance of the contract.
