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 ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 50241100 - **Delivery regions:** UK, UKJ - **Description:** APAC24 Support Services - **Options published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** 023604-2022-1 (active) - Supplier(s): **BAE Systems Surface Ships Ltd** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-35864` - Value: £510,000 † (exc.
