ISSASDT/00053 Exostar Connectivity with CP&F

Notice Description

Procurement Information

Justification for extension to contract ISSASDT/00053 is provided under PCR Regulation 32 (5) (b): The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public supply contracts for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. The Authority have identified significant technical risks to implementing a new Supplier Hub at this time without compromising the MOD's capability to pay its suppliers. This capability must be maintained with minimal disruption and therefore an extension of 15.5 months is necessary for these to be addressed.
