- Direct awardUK5WECDIS & Combat System Interface Unit (WIU CSIU)
Defence Equipment and Support · 28 Sept 2026 · OSI Maritime Systems Ltd · Official notice
Rationale: The contract is being awarded directly under Section 41 of, and paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 to, the Procurement Act 2023 (single supplier - technical reasons). The Authority has determined that only OSI Maritime Ltd possesses the intellectual property rights, technical drawings, design knowledge, safety assurance evidence and specialist expertise necessary to design, manufacture, install and assure replacement Warship Interface Units (WIU) and Combat System Interface Units (CSIU) that are compatible with the existing navigation and combat system architecture fitted to Royal Navy platforms. The WIU and CSIU are required to interface with OSI supplied WECDIS, ECPINS and WAIS systems already installed across the affected platforms. The Authority assessed alternative procurement approaches and concluded that there are no reasonable alternatives capable of meeting the technical, operational, interoperability and safety requirements of the requirement whilst maintaining compatibility with the existing architecture. The current supplier was considered; however, the available support solution did not provide value for money and would not deliver the required obsolescence recovery solution. Accordingly, OSI Maritime Ltd is the only supplier capable of delivering the requirement and the direct award is justified on technical grounds.

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust · 28 Sept 2026 · eXmoor Pharma Concepts Limited · Official notice
Rationale: The following rationale supports the proposed direct award under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the grounds of technical reasons. Exmoor Pharma QP brings specialist expertise in advanced therapies medicinal products, together with direct and extensive familiarity with T-reg and CAR-T reg manufacturing. This combination of advanced therapy experience and product-specific knowledge is highly specialised and is unlikely to be readily available from another QP. Such familiarity provides significant value in the assessment and oversight of manufacturing activities, deviations, investigations, quality decisions, and batch certification, where an understanding of the specific product, process and associated risks is essential. Retaining this expertise therefore provides both a regulatory and operational benefit. It supports continued GMP compliance while avoiding the potentially lengthy learning period associated with transferring responsibility to a new QP who has no prior experience of the organisation or T-reg manufacturing process. It also reduces the risk of disruption to manufacturing activities and the consequential impact on production capacity and patient supply. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is relying on Section 41 and Paragraph 6(a) and 7(b) of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 to justify the use of direct award in special cases.
