- Published justification
Aircrew Delivery Team (DT) has identified that to meet the continual requirement for the provision of AEA and SE to its Defence Aviation Environment (DAE) customers it requires additional supplies and the continued Post Design Service (PDS) support of Survitec until the existing equipment replacement at the end of 2027. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer Survitec have the specialist design knowledge to provide assurance that the Airworthiness and Safety performance criteria are met and have the Design Approved Organisation Scheme (DAOS) accreditation to meet safety Airworthiness requirements with Military Aviation Authority (MAA) regulations. Using different equipment from another OEM would result in goods with different technical characteristics and therefore incompatibility with those supplied by Survitec in use across multiple existing Aircrew Systems. PPA has identified that a change of contractor for supply or partial replacement of existing in-service equipment would lead to disproportionate technical difficulties with existing equipment and fittings installed on each ship and incompatibility with current personnel training and maintenance procedures resulting in an unacceptable safety risk. Survitec as OEM provide personnel authorisation certification, and which is not offered by Survitec to any other supplier. C17CSAE have identified a need to continue the provision of Post Design Services, spares, capital purchases and core management services in relation to the Parachutist Life Preserver equipment currently supported C17CSAE Part B2 using the option period. The C17CSAE DT may further extend the tasking for this requirement by up to three (3) years. The estimated value of the maximum four-year extension is £0.9M.
