IV.1)Description
IV.1.1)Type of procedureAward of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
The service, which is the subject of the current procurement allows to detect emissions of electromagnetic waves (radio frequencies) coming from maritime radars, AIS transponders, satellite phones and potentially other sources by spaceborne assets and to geo-locate them. The conducted market research clearly states that currently there is only one company that is capable of delivering the desired services (HawkEye360). Two other companies which are in the same market (Unseenlabs, Kleos Space) are still in the initial stage of ramping up, i.e. satellites deployment and will reach full operational capabilities in the mid-term future only.
