## Notice

In 2022, Team Leidos conducted an Open Procedure tender for the supply of medical oxygen for divers' equipment (Wenoll WS100). The resulting contract was awarded to Northern Diver. This contract is due to expire on 13 March 2026; therefore, Team Leidos proceeded with the re-let. During market engagement, it was confirmed that Northern Diver is the sole distributor of the required equipment on behalf of EMS, the OEM. Leidos has obtained the necessary certification from the OEM confirming this. A transparency notice for a direct award was published on 19/09/2025. Leidos proceeded with a direct award to Northern Diver, justified on technical grounds. Due to Northern Diver being the sole distributor for the required equipment, the new contract will be directly awarded to Northern Diver in January 2026.

### Procurement Information

Northern Divers are the exclusive distributor for this equipment and the only party that can provide the necessary supply and support services for the requirement. This is evidenced in a letter from the OEM, EMS (Emergency Medical Systems GmbH), located at Im Gewerbegebiet 5, 91093 Hessdorf, Germany, for a time period up until 31/12/2025. Team Leidos will proceed with a Direct Award without Prior Publication (with consideration to PA23 Schedule 5, Paragraphs 5-7) on the basis that Northern Divers can provide supply and support on behalf of EMS, the OEM
