## Summary

Southampton Solent University has completed a procurement process for the "Digital Voyage Planning and Navigation Class Amendment to reach MFC level 1+24", aimed at acquiring additional software licences for specialised maritime simulation equipment. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods and involves the direct procurement method without competition, as it is below the threshold. The simulation software, including radar, visuals, and conning, is proprietary to Wartsila and enriches the University's existing maritime training systems. Located in Southampton, UK, the contract was awarded on 12 December 2025, and began on 15 December 2025, running until 15 December 2032.

Large-scale suppliers with competitive positions in maritime technology sectors would be particularly well-suited to explore collaborations or future tenders as the university updates and expands its simulation systems.
