Procedure rationaleIt is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure, without prior publication pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) for the following technical reasons:
1) Thales UK Ltd are the Design Organisation (DO) for the LRUs and have extensive and in depth knowledge of these items with access to original underlying technical drawings/information and technical specifications, data and knowledge which are required to provide the repair and maintenance services required by the contract;
2) Without access to such design drawings/information and technical specifications, data and knowledge, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence is not in a position to be able to identify the exact technical requirements (including the original equipment manufacturer standards) which are required to ensure the proper operation,
safety and suitability of the requirement; and
3) As a result, Thales UK Ltd are currently the only company with the technical expertise and know-how to undertake the services covered by the scope of this contract. This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. This notice advises that the Authority has decided to negotiate a contract with the named supplier on a single
source basis, and is published for reasons of transparency. |
