- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
The onboard systems are bespoke and tightly integrated with the commissioning process.
- Engaging a new supplier or implementing alternative systems at this stage would necessitate a full process of revalidation, reconfiguration, and potentially recertification, which would introduce additional complexity and risk to the commissioning timeline and overall operational readiness.
