Davie's proposal was put on hold last week after its assets were sold to Upper Lakes Group, part of a consortium making the bid. The group includes SNC-Lavalin Group Inc (SNC.TO) and South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (042660.KS).
The National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy Secretariat has accepted Davie's application for a change of bidder, it said in a release.
