To ensure full compatibility, reduce risk, and maintain project continuity, the  system must be identical in design and functionality. A new supplier would require significant redevelopment of drivers and software, increasing cost and delays.\nPhotonics Solutions is the only supplier able to meet the technical, operational, and schedule requirements without introducing additional risk to the HiLUX programme.\nThis direct award is therefore justified on the grounds of technical compatibility.",
