What is being bought

The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, has awarded a 4 year contract with a value of up to £475,997.49 to BAE Systems Surface Ships Ltd for the provision of support to the Royal Navy’s APAC 24 boat, in particular general onboard systems hardware and software upgrade and modification. In accordance with regulation 4 of Defence and Security Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 SI No. 2019/697, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (DSPCR 2011) as amended (in particular 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 (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 because competition is absent for technical reasons. This is because the Contractor alone as design authority possesses the specific technological expertise and knowledge and access to relevant information including data in proprietary software to undertake the work and ensure system compatibility with existing APAC hardware [both aboard the APAC from a structure and stability, naval architecture and overall platform safety and integrity perspective and from a fleet-wide perspective] and can alone provide a safety case to meet the reasonable requirements of the MOD. Furthermore access to physical equipment to be used in undertaking the work is exclusive to BAE and will not be available to any other supplier

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Vessel repair services (50241100); 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 509,2234 median · 22.4 average (3,783 of 9,223 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,298 of 9,223 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKJ31402 median · 20.7 average (9 of 40 with a bid count)7.2 average (10 of 40 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.

        "description": "The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a 4 year contract with a value of approximately £500,000 to BAE Systems Surface Ships Ltd for the provision of support to the Royal Navy’s APAC 24 boat, in particular general onboard systems hardware and software upgrade and modification. In accordance with regulation 4 of Defence and Security Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 SI No. 2019/697, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (DSPCR 2011) as amended (in particular 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. \nIt is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 because competition is absent for technical reasons. This is because the Contractor alone as design authority possesses the specific technological expertise and knowledge and access to relevant information including data in proprietary software to undertake the work and ensure system compatibility with existing APAC hardware [both aboard the APAC from a structure and stability, naval architecture and overall platform safety and integrity perspective and from a fleet-wide perspective] and can alone provide a safety case to meet the reasonable requirements of the MOD. [Furthermore access to physical equipment to be used in undertaking the work is exclusive to BAE and will not be available to any other supplier]",
