Tender description
* Correction to notice: 2025/S 000-043436 due to error with declared value* This is a contract details notice, not a call for competition. This procurement is being concluded without competition due to an absence of competition for technical reasons. NOC has identified its existing mooring recovery aids as nearing the end of their operational life, risking equipment failures and significant risk to the safe and successful recovery of our deployed assets. Following a comprehensive market assessment of available solutions, the Xeos Apollo X7 beacon has been identified as the system that best meets our operational and technical requirements. ## Contract award ## Contract award
