- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
It is considered that this contract can be placed with Rubb Buildings Ltd using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in accordance with Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) for technical reasons. The requirement for in-service support and additional equipment can only be placed with Rubb Buildings Ltd for the following reasons
- Rubb Buildings Ltd are the OEM and the DA for the TWE equipment. An alternative supplier would not have access to the necessary technical documentation or the requisite knowhow to have a sufficient technical understanding of the equipment and to be able to understand or support the safety case for repairs and modifications. OI do not have access to this technical documentation.
- To conduct MRO Level 4 repairs the contractor requires a considerable number of jigs and specialist tools for the TWE equipment which have been manufactured as required by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) throughout the lifetime of the capability. The Authority does not own, nor have user rights to any information pertaining to these jigs and specialist tools. Any redesign of such jigs and tools by an alternative supplier would be considered to increase potential safety risks and risks to component material and manufacturing integrity associated with the equipment.
The Authority would be at risk of operating TWE outside the safety case if other economic operators were to provide non-OEM TWE components, for example but not limited to:
The OEM would not:
- Undersign the specifications and safety certifications of parts and components manufactured or sourced by other economic operators
- Undersign the Safety Case for its TWE structures with the input from other suppliers
- Provide IPR or technical information and know-how to other economic operators, or collaborate with other manufacturers that aimed to provide alternative designs to the authority
In addition, the installing and maintaining RAF Squadron (5001) would not receive training or technical updates from the OEM if components from other suppliers were to be included in TWE installations all of which would add to the safety risks.
Publisher note: This notice is not a request for expressions of interest 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 supplier named above.
