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) of the Defence & Security Public Contract Regulations 2011 due to technical reasons. BAES are the Design Authority of the CMS, BAES SI & Networks & is the only supplier with the appropriate level of system design & configuration knowledge to meet the requirement. The CMS operates using proprietary software which the Authority does not have the right to share with a third party. Therefore, use of any third-party support supplier would increase the complexity of sub-system alignment & integration, increase the difficulty of assigning responsibility for identification & rectification of equipment failures, & present an unacceptably high risk of compromised safety management. BAES is the only operator that has the technical expertise & know-how of the CMS, BAES SI & Networks to carry out obsolescence management & modifications to ensure uninterrupted equipment availability, interoperability & underwrite such modifications from a safety perspective. It is for the reasons listed above that BAES is the only operator able to perform the contract.
