Procedure rationaleThe Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), part of the UK Ministry of Defence has awarded an amendment valued at up to £700K (EX VAT) to a previous advertised and awarded Single Source Non Qualifying Defence Contract with Edgar Brothers (“the Contractor”) for the procurement and delivery of an additional limited quantity of RS1 and RM1 systems including the provision of engineering support used in connection with weapon integration, platform integration and virtualised environment integration. The original Contract was subject to a VTN under which the Authority invoked Regulation 7(1) (a) of the DSPCR to exempt the requirement from the DSPCR in conjunction with Regulation (6)(3a)(b). The Contractor, as the sole approved UK distributor of the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the Units has access via the OEM to the technical designs, tools, knowledge and know-how necessary to supply and integrate the Units to UK MOD Government Furnished Equipment, the Authority does not own the rights authorising them to share the essential technical specifications that other economic providers require to redesign. The Units are safety critical to the operation of the platform, to safeguard interoperability across the platform and virtual environment the Units must be supplied in accordance with the relevant technical specifications in order to meet operational safety requirements. The Units to be developed and manufactured under this procurement are solely for the purpose of research and development and not with a view to quantity production to establish commercial viability or recovering R&D costs. The manufacture of these items equates to technology readiness level 6. This requirement was subject to a VTN dated 28th July 2021 seeking to issue an amendment to the existing Contract to undertake the procurement of an additional quantity from the original supplier as the purchase is in addition to existing goods or an installation and a change of supplier would oblige the procurer to acquire goods having different technical characteristics resulting in incompatibility with the goods covered by the original contract.
