Summary of the contracting process

The City of Glasgow College has completed the procurement process for the design, supply, delivery, installation, and integration of an additional Ship Simulator, including hardware and software components. This project falls under the Education industry category and is being implemented at the Riverside Campus in Glasgow, Scotland. The contract, valued at GBP 1,500,000, was awarded through a limited procurement method to Wartsila Voyage OY, with the agreement signed on 1st July 2024. The procurement method was chosen to ensure compatibility with existing simulators and systems, already provided and maintained by Wartsila. The College opted for an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the technical and operational advantages of continuing with the existing supplier.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in high-tech simulator solutions, especially those focusing on naval and maritime training systems. Companies experienced in designing and integrating advanced simulation hardware and software, and those that can provide ongoing maintenance and support services, would find this project particularly beneficial. The decision to maintain continuity with Wartsila Voyage OY underscores the importance of compatibility and technical integration, suggesting that businesses with established relationships or prior experience with similar systems are well-positioned to compete effectively in this sector.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Design, supplier, delivery, installation, and integration of additional Ship Simulator including hardware and software. Including Bridges, Mixed/Virtual realities set and spare parts.

Options: Support and maintenance including software and hardware updates.

Procurement Information

The college currently have 5 full mission simulators supplied and maintained by Wartsila. By continuing this relationship, it will allow us to expand our offering whilst maintaining full technical integration and compatibility with our existing bridges 2-5. We also have 3-part task labs with 36 deck stations, and a 24-station part task engine simulator which are also Wartsila, so allows for a familiar student experience. Hardware from bridge 1 will be reused in one of the new bridges. New and existing engine and bridge simulators to be linked for joint exercises. Should the college have opened this requirement up to competition, all existing hardware and software licences would be obsolete. This would result in not only the bridge simulators being replaced, but the instructor stations, 32-part task simulators being replaced, 24 desktop engine simulators being replaced and a full mission engine room simulator being replaced at considerable costs. Should we go to full tender, all existing simulators would need to be replaced to allow for joint operations to take place. The current maintenance agreement we have in place with Wartsila for the existing simulators would not be fit for purpose should we change suppliers. This contract has an outstanding commitment of 370k GBP. With reference to IP rights, the exercises that have been created for students, at extensive time and cost to the College, are only compatible with the Wartsila software. Likewise, we have had a number of bespoke vessels/areas created by Wartsila for clients. If the College were to change manufacturer, whilst these would remain the property of CoGC, they would be rendered obsolete and the work would need recreated internally or by new manufacturer at additional cost.
