Procedure rationaleIn accordance with regulation 4 of the Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 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 for technical reasons the contract may be awarded to SAAB Ltd. The G1X is a crucial part of Air Defence capability that relies on up-to-date training and SQEP. The Authority’s view is that only SAAB Ltd can provide the actual software that would be in use on the G1X, providing a 100% accurate replication of the system in terms of functionality and the Air picture that is fed from G1X radar. Any attempt by a 3rd party to replicate the G1X would be based on observing outputs from the radar would run the risk of not being 100% accurate owing to not having access to all coding, functionality, and scenarios. This would impact on the quality of the training and thus having skilled G1X operators in the field. SAAB Ltd. control and issue Software updates and patches that 3rd parties do not have access to immediately, therefore the impact of this is that a 3rd Party supplied emulator/Synthetic Trainer would be running on previous versions whilst the software update and impact is assessed, coded, and then implemented. Any “lag” in training would have a detrimental effect on Air Defence capability and would be unacceptable.”
