The contract involves the maintenance and repair, calibration, in-service support, spares, post design activities, on-call technical support and technical documentation maintenance for a wide range of Mobile Hydraulic Servicing Equipment, used in the maintenance of all Rotary Wing, Hawk and BBMF aircraft and their associated components. 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 is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 due to technical reasons. This is because Sun Test Systems B.V. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for this hydraulically operated ground support and test equipment that is currently in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The existing contract for the in-service support of this range of equipment does not cover the release of any proprietary information to 3rd parties and hence the Authority does not have access to the data-packs associated with the equipment and Sun Test Systems have confirmed they are not prepared to grant any such licences. The OEM also maintains the complementary Safety Cases, and there is a significant risk that if a third party took over the contract for in-service support without the data-packs, these Safety Cases would over time deteriorate, as the functionality of the equipment declines in line with the loss of proprietary information in the form of firmware and software upgrades. This would result in an unacceptable level of risk to human life and accelerate the equipment's removal from service. A Single Source solution is the only means of maintaining the integrity of the equipment through to its natural Out of Service Date" }, "awards": [ { "id": "028980-2021-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "status": "active", "hasSubcontracting": true, "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-35246", "name": "Sun Test Systems B.V." } ] } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-5483", "name": "Ministry of Defence", "identifier": { "legalName": "Ministry of Defence" }, "address": { "locality": "Bristol", "region": "UKK11", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "darren.brice-taylor100@mod.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "https://des.mod.uk", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "TED_CA_TYPE", "id": "MINISTRY", "description": "Ministry or any other national or federal authority, including their regional or local subdivisions" }, { "scheme": "COFOG", "id": "02", "description": "Defence" } ] } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-35246", "name": "Sun Test Systems B.V.", "identifier": { "legalName": "Sun Test Systems B.V." }, "address": { "streetAddress": "| Nijverheidslaan 17 | 1382 LG Weesp", "locality": "The Netherlands", "region": "UK", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "supplier" ], "details": { "scale": "sme" } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-31776", "name": "Defence, Equipment and Support", "identifier": { "legalName": "Defence, Equipment and Support" }, "address": { "locality": "Bristol", "postalCode": "BS34 8JH", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "roles": [ "reviewBody" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-FTS-5483", "name": "Ministry of Defence" }, "contracts": [ { "id": "028980-2021-1", "awardID": "028980-2021-1", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 2750000, "currency": "EUR" }, "dateSigned": "2021-10-15T00:00:00+01:00" } ], "language": "en" }
