It is considered that the placement of this 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 Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011 (as amended) for technical reasons. Ansell Jones are the Design Authority and manufacturer of the in-service watertight Escape, Access & Egress equipment installed and integrated on a variety of HM Naval Ships. The Escape, Access and Egress equipment on these Ships is integral to Ships capability and failure to provide continued support shall have a significant impact on the Royal Navy's capability. As Design Authority, only Ansell Jones have the accumulated technical expertise and technical know-how at its disposal required to support this equipment. This includes the intimate knowledge and understanding of the technical data, overhaul manuals and manufacturing design codes used for the existing equipment across the various platforms which they are fitted and supported. No other supplier has been granted rights to the data and codes by Ansell Jones and neither has UK MOD sufficient rights to provide to any third party. Only Ansell Jones can provide certification of the safety and interoperability of the repaired and maintained equipment and safety and security accreditation requirements where necessary to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority. Furthermore, no other contractor other than Ansell Jones can reasonably provide the services and ancillary spares and supplies where relevant as to do otherwise would create disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation and maintenance of the existing equipment. This could result in unacceptable interoperability risk between all such existing and new equipment for the relevant platforms and would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the Authority. https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=58034
