Procedure rationaleThe Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to BAE Systems for the development of software and procurement of hardware to integrate data streams from the Flexible Tactical Uncrewed Aerial System (FTUAS) into its host Type-23 frigate (T23) Combat Management System (CMS). The contract will have an initial term of 3 years and 3 months, plus 2 options to extend for a further 1 year each. It is considered that this contract can be awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of The Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because the FTUAS hardware and software solution will require integration with ‘legacy’ Combat Management System (CMS) on the host platform. The CMS is a proprietary system owned by BAE Systems, no other supplier has access to it. As well as owning and developing the CMS, BAES also are the sole owners of the source code for the CMS system and as such are the only supplier who are in possession of the expertise and know-how to complete the required upgrades, and to meet the security and integration testing requirements stipulated by the Integrating Authority of the MOD. The development work required to deliver the CMS functionality of the FTUAS programme is such that considerable alterations are required to be made of the CMS software, leaving BAES as the only supplier with the required access and means to the source code needed to fulfil the requirement.
