Procedure rationaleIt is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16 (1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011 (DSPCR)) due to technical reasons. Following the competitive procedure, the MOD awarded initial JCRVT manufacture and support contract to L3Harris in 2016 which is due to expire in October 2023. A new short-term replacement in-service technical support is required. L3Harris are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and have the specific technical skills, know-how and experience in providing the necessary Contractor Technical Support and Services to support and upgrade the equipment when required. They are also the only supplier who have access to the product design information to enable them to undertake any support and design modifications to the JCRVT system. Choosing to compete this requirement would introduce the possibility of contravention of the Defence Safety Authority (DSA) regulations as it would not be possible to ensure that another contractor could be sufficiently qualified within the requisite timeframes to undertake design and manufacture activities without including an associated unacceptable level of risk. This would result in the Authority not being able to fulfil safety requirements which are required to ensure the safe functioning of the User community. Due to the above reasons the requirement will continue as a single source requirement.
