Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationalePrior 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 amendment 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 Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons.
This is because the Company is the only supplier with the following knowledge, experience, expertise, capability and attributes necessary to meet the Authority's requirements:
i. The Company is the only one to have undertaken multiple A-Class Base Maintenance Periods (BMP) and Vanguard Class Ship Submersible Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) DMPs. As a result, the Company has acquired a detailed technical knowledge of those components that require extraordinary management.
ii. The Company is the In-Service Support (ISS), BMP and DMP provider for A-Class maintenance, consequently they hold and have sole access to their detailed technical knowledge specific to each platform of the A-Class. This includes the precise technical specification of long lead manufactured items and support equipment required for the delivery of a A-Class DMP.
iii. The Company is the only supplier within the UK's Submarine Enterprise with the knowledge and expertise of the UK Submarine industrial base and its Supply Chain able to effectively plan, deconflict and manage the Authority's ISS and DMP priorities and subsequently receive delivery into onsite storage, provide the tailored security and bespoke upkeep of the items until installation.
iv. The Company owns the nuclear licensed site and facilities used in the delivery of A-Class DMP, that will benefit the storage and inventory management of the long lead manufactured items and support equipment scope ensuring compliance with the Authority's security and maintenance policy requirements. |
