Why no open competition

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

The Vehicle Support Team (VST) – part of the Defence, Equipment and Support (DE&S) organisation within the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) – intends to award to Oshkosh Defense LLC a 16-month extension to the existing Wheeled Tanker In Service Support (ISS) contract (CSVHSC/06) for the provision of spares, repairs, engineering support and Post Design Services, prior to the negotiation on a replacement contract. The estimated value of this contract extension is £10M inclusive of VAT.

It is considered that the contract can be extended using the Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Article 28(1) (e) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1) (a) (ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011) for technical reasons, ensuring that the current fleet is continued to be maintained and reducing the potential impact to the safe and reliable operation of the entire vehicle fleet.

Only the Contractor, as the Design Authority and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Wheeled Tanker system has access to the technical information, expertise, knowledge and know-how necessary to provide the Authority with assurance that the operational effectiveness and safety of the platform will not be compromised. A third party would not be able to carry out this work without access to the necessary design and technical information which is required to ensure the goods are produced to the correct technical specification, in terms of quality, performance and safety. The Services being procured under this contract are safety critical to the operation of the platform and so must be produced to the correct specification, held only by Oshkosh Defence LLC. This information is not available to the Authority as it is owned by the Contractor in their role as the OEM and the Authority does not have the necessary rights to that information to provide to any third party.
