Collins Aerospace are the only supplier with the required technical ability and approval from US Govt to integrate and deliver a mil spec (M-code) GPS receiver into a handheld underwater dive system. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(b)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for technical reasons.
