Legal Justification

The Platform Equipment Delivery Team part of the Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to Naval Group Limited (“Naval Group”) for the purchase of four additional Fresh Water Cooling Heat Exchanger (HEATEX) units (“Units”) to be installed on submarines.

Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.
