Why no open competition

No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to negotiated procedure with prior publication of a contract notice; The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive; The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

This requirement is for the establishment of a test and repair capability for Collins Aerospace F-35 components at DE&S Deca. This will support the maintenance, repair, overhaul, and upgrade (MRO&U) of specific F-35 Collins Aerospace components at DE&S Deca

In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this contract is regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (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 this 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 Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons.

The Contract term shall be for a period of 15 months. The estimated value of the contract is circa two million pounds (£2,000,000.00).

Collins Aerospace holds all the available technical information for their F-35 components and has the technical expertise, knowledge and know-how necessary to establish the test and capability requirement. This information is not available to the Authority as it is owned by Collins. The Authority does not have the necessary rights to this information and would be unable to provide a suitable level of details to any third party that would enable them to fulfil this requirement. The Authority is required to comply with maintenance management policy relating to the capability implementation for F-35 which sets out that only Collins Aerospace as the OEM can carry out the establishment of a test and repair capability. The Authority will have access to the information necessary to meet this requirement pursuant to an extant TAA with Collins Aerospace.
