What it is for
REMBRADT is built and managed by BMT. We purchased version 6 of this software 6 years ago on a perpetual licence and currently pay yearly for a support contract. We have also worked very closely with BMT over the years to develop a Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) replay element within this simulator, that we can feed data that we have already formatted to replay in our MADAS software solution. BMT have now developed Version 7 of the software and adopted and annual licence model and a separate service support cost. There are several other Simulators on the market but none with the ability to play back Voyage Data Recorder. Therefore, I am seeking approval to set up a call off contract for three plus one years (Or longer if possible) as a Direct Award with a drawdown of £3k per year to cover the cost of the licencing and the service support contract. Total £9K (3 years) £12K (4 years). I would also like for it to be considered that we add £10K on top of the call of contract in case we require any bespoke modifications, or specific hydrodynamic ships models to be created for specific cases. The National Transport Safety Board in the USA, Japan Transport Safety Board, the Dutch Safety Board and the Taiwanese Transport Safety Board all run REMBRANDT with this VDR Replay capability. I feel there is also a strong justification to keep aligned with other well established accident authorities for collaboration, learning and development opportunities and sharing of best practice.
