Lot Information
Lot 1
Research & Development project, applying experimental digital engineering to the development of a crewed, fixed-wing air system.
Procurement Information
1. The DE&S Catalyst team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to Aeralis Ltd for Digital Aviation Learning, a requirement to observe and obtain relevant information and learnt lessons from the development of a crewed, fixed-wing air system which is adopting Digital Engineering to design, manufacture, test and certify the air system. This contract has an estimated value of PS9M. 2. In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI No.2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (DSPCR 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. 3. It is considered that for technical reasons this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) and is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011. This is because Aeralis Ltd are the only known UK-based economic operator that is adopting Digital Engineering to design, manufacture, test and certify a crewed, fixed-wing air system that is to fly on the military register. On this basis, it is considered that Aeralis are the only economic operator that are therefore technically capable of fulfilling this requirement, particularly within the timescales required.
