057862-2025Refurbishment and upgrade of the installed AML MVP300-1700 underway profiling system, operated by the National Oceanography Centre as part of the National Marine Equipment Pool. This requirement covers OEM refurbishment of the MVP winch, controller electronics, and associated components, using proprietary AML boards, firmware, and validated safety interlocks. The MVP system is an integrated AML design; only the original manufacturer (AML Oceanographic Ltd) can supply the necessary components and perform a refurbishment that maintains full compatibility, safety compliance, and operational performance of the existing asset. Alternative suppliers offer separate profiling systems with their own winch and control modules, which are not compatible with the installed MVP equipment or controller software. Procuring from any other source would require a complete system replacement, resulting in disproportionate cost and operational disruption. Only AML can deliver an OEM-validated refurbishment that sustains the current asset's functionality and supportability. This procurement is a distinct, standalone requirement, solely focused on sustaining the existing MVP300-1700 asset. The requirements have been valued and justified independently, in line with aggregation and threshold guidance under the Procurement Act 2023.
