Procedure rationaleThe current Logistics Support Contract (LSC) is due to expire on 27 February 2027. The contract is scheduled to be replaced by a competitively procured Logistics Support contract. The new contract is not anticipated to be awarded until February 2028 and interim arrangements are required to mitigate a gap in service provision of up to 18 months.
Failure to place a continuation contract with Babcock will result in a critical capability gap. It will leave MOD without access to a single point in Industry able to coordinate support to the various tactical communications systems and equipment currently deployed by Field Army. Without support services there is a risk of a decline in TacCIS availability, an inability to replace faulty equipment in operational theatres, and a lack of asset visibility in the supply chain. The result in the battlespace will be a loss of information exchange capabilities and an unacceptable risk to safety and life.
The lack of logistics services will also impact the BCIP 5.7 update, removing the underpinning logistical support chain that provides the facility to transition from the current BCIP 5.6 capability and preventing the work required to ensure in-service equipment is at the right standard to be updated. |
