Notice Title
81mm Mortar Baseplate Procurement
Notice Description
The procurement of 100 81mm Mortar Baseplates for use with the In-Service Mortar System.
Procurement Information
The Dismounted Close Combat programme team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, awards a two-year contract with BAE Systems Land UK (BAE Systems) for the procurement of 100 81mm Mortar Baseplates with an option to extend for a further 1-year period. It is considered that this Contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for Technical Reasons. This is because BAE Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Design Authority (DA) for the 81mm Mortar Baseplates and is the only economic entity with the necessary technical data, knowledge and expertise, and proprietary documentation to perform the work. Without access to the proprietary documentation, technical drawings, tooling and test equipment, specific manufacturing processes and knowledge and expertise, any goods provided by another entity would require new testing, new verification and validation to ensure that the Safety and Suitability for Service of the system, operational performance and effectiveness, and the interoperability is not compromised and that the Safety Case for the system is not invalidated. This would all be at a disproportionate cost and time. A change of supplier would also oblige the Authority to acquire goods having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility between the existing platforms and weapons and the goods to be included under the Contract.
