| Main Category: | Goods |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | To ensure full compatibility, reduce risk, and maintain project continuity, the system must be identical in design and functionality. A new supplier would require significant redevelopment of drivers and software, increasing cost and delays. Photonics Solutions is the only supplier able to meet the technical, operational, and schedule requirements without introducing additional risk to the HiLUX programme. This direct award is therefore justified on the grounds of technical compatibility. |
