- Direct awardUK5Flexible benefits platform Darwin
Sovereign Network Group · 18 Sept 2026 · MERCER LIMITED · Official notice
Rationale: This contract is for the continued provision of services by the incumbent supplier. The existing platform is deeply integrated with SNG's core systems and supporting business processes. These integrations have been developed and refined over time and are critical to the effective delivery of the service. For technical and interoperability reasons, a change of supplier at this time would create significant challenges in maintaining compatibility with SNG's existing systems, interfaces, data structures and operational processes. Transitioning to an alternative solution would require substantial redevelopment, testing and migration activity, resulting in significant implementation risk, additional cost and potential disruption to business operations. A change of supplier during the proposed contract term would therefore create a material risk to service continuity and the effective operation of the integrated solution. Continued use of the incumbent supplier is considered necessary to ensure ongoing interoperability, maintain service stability and protect SNG's existing investment in the platform and its integrations. The direct award will also provide SNG with sufficient time to review its benefits strategy and undertake a comprehensive assessment of the market. During this period, SNG will evaluate available solutions and market developments and determine whether a future competitive procurement exercise would offer improved value and outcomes. SNG anticipates completing this review and determining its future sourcing strategy within the next two to three years.

- Direct awardUK5The Provision of Medium and Heavy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Remote Controlled Vehicles In-Service Support - UK5
Defence Equipment and Support · 18 Sept 2026 · L3HARRIS TRL Technology Limited · Official notice
Rationale: In accordance with Section 41(1)(a) of the Procurement Act 2023 (the “Act”), the Authority intends to rely on the Single Supplier direct award justification, as set out in Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 of the Act, to award a public contract directly to the Supplier not being an excluded Supplier. It is considered that a direct award is permissible under the Act on the basis that, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only the Supplier can carry out the services. This is because the Supplier is a subsidiary of the OEM of the RCVs (L3 Harris) and therefore is the only operator that has the technical expertise and know-how of the equipment/RCVs to provide the required ISS to carry out in-depth fault identification, repair, and resolution and to assure reliability and safety of both RCV capabilities. Accordingly, the Supplier is considered as the only supplier that can provide the services required and there are no alternatives to those services as required by the Authority. The contract will not be awarded to an excluded supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023.
