Procedure rationaleIt 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 is lawful in accordance with Regulation 32(5)(b) of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for additional purchase or hire of goods from the original supplier where they are in addition to existing goods. This is because the complexity of the goods and the associated requirements for interoperability of the new goods and the existing goods and the need for standardisation of equipment in the Defence and security arena, requires supply by the same manufacturer. A change in supplier to obtain similar equipment would result in incompatibility with the goods covered by the original contract. The purchase of the TDoA nodes will be used with the existing hardware of TDoA and AOA nodes and the Mission Manager and RF Eye Site software that the MOD currently owns. The new nodes will be 100% compatible with the existing nodes and software and will grow and improve the current MOD RF Monitoring capabilities in terms of geo-location over a greater area and frequency range. RF Monitors from other suppliers would not be 100% compatible with the existing CRFS hardware and software and would have a poorer performance. Using a different manufacturers’ equipment and software would lose the SQEP experience built up over 5 years, and diminish the reach back, network flexibility and other mutual support available.
