What is being bought

The contract is for acquiring supplies from the supplier (Ultra) to prevent difficulties in operation and maintenance of the Ultra radiometric support equipment to ensure they are the correct Ultra own equipment (to which the supplier has the Intellectual Property rights and patents) so that:

  • The Radiometric Protective (RP) equipment is correct and already part of a set of pre-approved type tested equipment, evaluated, and considered fit and safe for the intended purpose
  • The spares in use are required to meet a predetermined specification which matches the equipment outlined above and as the OEM, Ultra are required to ensure that their spares continue meet that specification at their cost, therefore.
