Notice Description
THE PROCUREMENT AND REPAIR OF CHINOOK UNIQUE CABLING AND ASSOCIATED SPARES
Procurement Information
The Chinook Project Team, part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, intends to place a contract with TT Electronics Fairford Ltd (the Contractor) for the procurement of Chinook unique aircraft cabling and associated spares. The contract has a term of two years and an estimated value of GBP 1,500,000 (ex VAT). In accordance with Section 41(1) of the Procurement Act 2023, the procurement shall be directly awarded to TT Electronics Fairford Ltd, as the justification set out in paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 applies. This provision permits direct award on the basis that for technical reasons the contract may be awarded only to the TT Electronics Fairford Ltd. The unique aircraft cabling and spares were previously designed and manufactured by TT Electronics-IMS. No other economic operator outside the Contractor's group would be able to source and provide the items required under the contract in a manner that meets its requirements. Alternative provision would directly and adversely impact on Chinook airworthiness causing an unacceptable air safety risk.
