Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the tender process for the "Hawk Future Engines Support Solution," aimed at providing maintenance and repair services for Hawk TMk 1 and TMk 2 engines from 2022 to 2033. This project falls under the defence services sector in the UK, with a total contract value of £157 million. The procurement method employed was limited, relying on negotiations without prior publication of a notice due to the specialized technical expertise required, confirming that Rolls-Royce PLC is the sole supplier suitable for this project.

This contract presents significant business opportunities for companies involved in defence services, especially those specializing in aircraft engine maintenance and repair. Businesses with relevant qualifications and capabilities, particularly those that can offer subcontracting services to a major supplier like Rolls-Royce PLC, may find avenues for growth as the Ministry of Defence seeks to ensure air safety and operational readiness through this long-term support solution.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

Maintenance and repair of Hawk TMk 1 and TMk 2 engines from 2022-2033.

Procurement Information

The Ministry of Defence intends to award a contract to Rolls-Royce PLC for the support of Hawk T Mk 1 and T Mk 2 engines from 2022 - 2033, known as the Hawk Future Engine Support Solution (HFESS). The HFESS contract will be for 11 years and have a value of PS157M. In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this contract falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that this contract can be awarded without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because Rolls Royce are both the 'Design Organisation' (DO) & the 'Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)' for the Hawk T1 & T2 aircraft Adour engines and as such are the only supplier with the technical expertise and access to technical information required to perform the service in accordance with the MOD's Air Safety and airworthiness requirements. If any other organisation was tasked to fulfil the requirement, it would require proprietary technical information from the DO to be able to perform the service and the output of the third party would have to be underwritten by the DO. This would result in an unacceptable safety risk to MOD.
