Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleIn accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (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 this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) and is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSCPR (2011) for technical reasons as Foreland Shipping Limited (“FSL”) is the only economic operator that has vessels holding the required technical capability and capacity to support the MOD’s Key User Requirements (KUR) detailed in a PIN published on Contracts Finder https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b135632b-3f9f-44d9-b7c5-9d0727cee0fc.
