GDELS-BS are the OEM and DA of BSIA and are the only operator that have the BSIA specific technical expertise and knowledge to maintain the equipment and to ensure interoperability and safety of the equipment. Furthermore, in relation to the supply of spares, any components sourced from an alternative supplier creates a risk of those components being incompatible with the existing BSIA. The requirement to obtain the necessary licenses, tools, jigs and fixtures, test equipment and specialist knowledge to undertake Post Design Service activities, manufacture spares and to undertake repairs within the equipment's life of the proposed contract is not possible for an alternative supplier to undertake.
