Babcock Land Defence Limited, acting as agent for the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to negotiate a Contract with Accuracy International Ltd for the Supply of Sniper Rifle Spares. 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 (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for technical reasons. This is because Accuracy International Ltd is the only Contractor with significant niche expertise, technical 'know-how' and acquired specific experience to source quality spares and manage the supply chain / delivery process for this requirement. Accuracy International Ltd is the manufacturer and sole distributor of spares to support the components required to support the AS50 Sniper Rifle Weapon Platform.
