701264395 - Support of the Vicon 78 Series 455 Counter Measure Dispensing System (CMDS)
Notice Description
Contract Award Notice for Support of VICON 78 Series 455 CMDS, which is a theatre-entry standard (TES) system currently fitted to various Aircraft Platforms.
Procurement Information
1) The Air Platform Systems (APS) Delivery Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("MOD"), intends to place a three (3) year contract with two (2) one (1) year options with Thales UK for the through life support of Vicon 455 Countermeasure Dispensing Systems (CMDS) that are fitted to Wildcat, Shadow and Defender aircraft. 2) It 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 UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. 3) The continued support required by MOD to existing in-service equipment must be contracted directly with Thales UK, procuring alternative equipment or contracting support from a supplier other than Thales is not possible for the following reasons: a) Interoperability issues, necessitating the substantial re-design and structural modification of complex military equipment, including the installation of specific wiring, to the existing UK aircraft fleets fitted with Vicon 455 CMDS to enable embodiment of alternative CMDS equipment; b) Incompatibility between the existing in-service systems/equipment and the alternative CMDS equipment resulting in further complex design and modification [which, for operational reasons, would be so time consuming as to potentially jeopardise the safe functioning of the Armed Forces]; c) The need to retrain technicians and system experts which would lead to a gap in knowledge that would have a significant risk and impact on current operations and ability for the in-service aircraft to fulfil their operational commitment.
