Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, has completed the tendering process for a three-year contract with the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) to deliver a Central Payment Scheme for RAeS membership for Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) employees. This procurement process, classified under Administrative Educational Services, is valued at £305,000 excluding VAT. The award stage concluded on 22nd August 2024, following a negotiation without prior publication due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract primarily involves services and covers delivery within the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in administrative and educational services, particularly those catering to the defence sector or possessing expertise in membership management schemes. Such businesses, especially if they specialise in negotiating tailored service agreements, could benefit significantly from contracts of this nature. Given the scale and specific requirements, larger organisations with a capability for specialised service delivery would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement processes undertaken by the Ministry of Defence.

Procurement Information

Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence intends to enter into a three (3) year contract with the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) with a value of PS0.305M VAT-Ex (Three Hundred and Five Thousand pounds) for the delivery of a Central Payment Scheme (CPS) for the provision of RAeS membership for DE&S employees. In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). 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 (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons based on the following justification: RAeS is the only professional body covering the engineering discipline/industry sector of engineering and technology and there is no other institute authorised by the Engineering Council for this specific discipline. Therefore, only RAeS can provide for the delivery of the Central Payment Scheme for the RAeS membership required.
