MOD Voluntary Transparency Notice for the Ships Sensors and Monitoring Systems (SSAMS) Interim In-Service Support Contract 1. United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (the “Authority”) intends to place a contract with BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited (company number 06160534) (the “Company”) for In-Service Support for Ships Sensors and Monitoring Systems (SSAMS) equipment fitted to the Royal Navy’s Type 45 Destroyers and Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers. 2. The planned term of the contract is for 3 years with three one-year option years (up to 6 years total). The estimated value of this contract is up to Band E1 (£4.5M – £10M). 3. The contract will cover spares, repairs, technical support and on-board technical assistance for the following systems: • Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) System • Air Group Management Application (AGMA) System • Aircraft Movement Electrocic Information Equipment (AMEIE) • Visual Surveillance System (VSS) 4. In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. a. The full support of METOC, AGMA, AMEIE and VSS Systems is reliant upon the Company’s knowledge as the Design Authority for the original design, manufacture and integration phases; and the comprehension and learning acquired through delivery of systems integration throughout the ships. In consequence, the information necessary to effect repairs and provide technical support and advice for the systems, and maintain safety compliance, rests solely with the Company. b. Overall Configuration Control of Software, System Architecture and Hardware must be strictly and effectively managed, to ensure the system elements remain correctly integrated and interoperable, precluding the sub-division of support of software and hardware support for each system. For the reasons set out in paragraph 4a, only the Company will be able to meet these requirements. Because of the reasons listed only the Company can perform the contract. 5. This VEAT Notice is not a request for Expressions of Interest (EoI) so please do not apply to be invited to tender. This notice advises that the Authority has decided to negotiate a contract with the named supplier on a single source basis and is published for reasons of transparency. If you are interested in becoming a sub-contractor for this requirement, you should apply directly to the Company named above.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services (50000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 509,2254 median · 22.4 average (3,784 of 9,225 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,299 of 9,225 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
