Procedure rationaleThe Ministry of Defence (‘the Authority’), intends to place a Contract of up to 7 years with SEA Limited (‘SEA’) for In Service Support to Combat System Highway. The estimated value of this contract is £3,820,000. It is considered that this Contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for Technical Reasons. SEA is the Design Organisation (DO) for the Combat Systems Highway (CSH), a legacy safety critical system and has provided support to the CSH since 1984. As such, SEA is the only entity with the requisite in-depth technical knowledge, expertise and specific know-how as well as the tools, test equipment and means necessary to fulfil this requirement. It is considered that to utilise another contractor which does not have access to these resources could present significant safety risks for the Ministry of Defence. Without access to the proprietary documentation, technical drawings, tooling and test equipment, specific manufacturing processes and knowledge and expertise, any goods provided by another entity would require new testing, new verification, and validation to ensure that the Safety and Suitability for Service of the system, operational performance and effectiveness, and the interoperability is not compromised and that the Safety Case for the system is not invalidated. This would all be at a disproportionate cost and time to the Authority.
