Notice Description

Notice of publication of transparency for Counter Terrorist Measure Trials.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The MOD is at risk from terrorist and other adversarial organizations. Counter Terrorist Measures (CTM) are part of the way the department discharges its 'Duty of Care' to its employees under the Health & Safety at Work Act. The MOD has an enduring requirement to provide 'reasonable and practicable' (HSW definition) levels of protection to building occupants in the context of CTM. Over the last two decades, the construction industry has continuously strived to reduce both build times and cost. This has primarily been driven by commercial considerations and has resulted in construction becoming progressively 'lighter' in terms of its strength and mass (weight) and this has negatively impacted on the MOD's ability to provide 'reasonable & practicable' levels of protection to building occupants in the context of CTM. In support of this, DIO intends to conduct a series of blast trials related to explosive ordnance disposal (EOD). These blast activities will explore the impact of emerging trends in construction such as modern methods of construction, 'modular' construction, and Steel Framing Solutions (SFS) cladding systems. The blast trials will provide the DIO with an understanding the effects explosives and improvised explosive devices can have on buildings or their components when placed within them or in close proximity. These blast activities have the common characteristics of being sensitive in nature, potentially hazardous if not carefully planned and executed, in most cases unprecedented and large in scale, involve significant quantities of explosives and require a suite of specialized and sophisticated instrumentation to measure the effects. The output of the blast trials will be used by the DIO to update the CTM Policy to be aligned with modern methods of construction in terms of the use of 'modular' construction and SFS cladding systems.

Procurement Information

DIO, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority"), intends to award a 2-year (plus 1 year extension) Call-Off Contract with a value of PS900,000GBP incl. of VAT to DNV Services UK Limited for the provision of conducting a series of blast trials related to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement 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 the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) technical reasons and Regulation 16(1)(c) research and development services grounds as set out in the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. This is because DNV Services UK Limited has the unique capability and presence in the UK in having a current track record of delivering work across the full combination of technical and hazard areas at one trial site, as necessary to deliver this requirement. Additionally, the purpose of the requirement is for research and development, which will provide the DIO with an understanding of the effects explosives and improvised explosive devices can have on buildings or their components
