Procurement Information

The Vehicle Support Team (VST) part of the Ministry of Defence, intends to award a 5 year 2 month initial contract with two option years (maximum contract duration 7 years 2 months), to BAE Systems Hagglunds AB ('BAES Hagglunds') to provide Post Design Services (PDS) for the Viking vehicle (7 variants), BV206 vehicle (14 variants), Beach Recovery Vehicle (BRV) and the Future All Terrain Vehicle (FATV) (All varients). It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant under regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. BAES Hagglunds is the only company with the required technical knowledge and experience to carry out this requirement including owning the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for major safety critical components for all four vehicles. Due to the amphibiousness of the vehicles, coupled with ballistic/mine protection structures incorporated into the platforms, all modifications are assessed to ensure that they do not impact the performance baseline, operational effectiveness or the safety of the whole platform. Only BAES Hagglunds is able to utilise this analysis to underwrite these modifications and the safety case of the entire platform. BAES Hagglunds is the only company with a sufficiently detailed understanding of the extreme operational environment requirements of these vehicles designs and variants, and their historical configuration to undertake the required Post Design Services.
