The estimated total value of the proposed award is PS2m ex-VAT (PS2,400,000 inclusive of VAT). 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 in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for technical reasons. This is on the basis that the MoD initially launched a competitive procurement process for its requirements (see Contract Notice reference: 2023/S 000-037214) published in the UK e-notification service) and only ABP Technologies submitted a response to the Pre-Qualification (Supplier Selection) Questionnaire, meaning the lack of response from the wider market signifies that only this supplier has the technical capability to provide the required LMDE Cartridges. In addition, on the basis that (a) the market has been properly tested; (b) the required LMDE Cartridges are obsolete; and (c) ABP Technologies is the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the LMDE system which the Cartridges fit into, the MoD believes that only ABP Technologies has the necessary technical designs, tools, parts, knowledge and know-how required to deliver the MoD's requirements." }, "awards": [ { "id": "004187-2024-709789452B DGM/2042-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "title": "Procurement of Cartridge Limpet Mine Disposal Equipment", "status": "active", "hasSubcontracting": true, "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-104674", "name": "ABP Technologies Ltd" } ] } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-31586", "name": "Ministry of Defence", "identifier": { "legalName": "Ministry of Defence" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Fir 1c Abbey Wood", "locality": "Bristol", "region": "UK", "postalCode": "BS34 8JH", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "Paul.brister148@mod.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "http://www.contracts.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-104674", "name": "ABP Technologies Ltd", "identifier": { "legalName": "ABP Technologies Ltd" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "1 Fleets Lane", "locality": "Poole", "region": "UK", "postalCode": "BH15 3BZ", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "plaing@abp-technologies.co.uk" }, "roles": [ "supplier" ], "details": { "url": "http://www.abp-technologies.co.uk", "scale": "sme" } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-104675", "name": "MOD Abbey Wood", "identifier": { "legalName": "MOD Abbey Wood" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Abbey Wood", "locality": "Bristol", "postalCode": "BS34 8JH", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "paul.brister148@mod.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "reviewBody" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-FTS-31586", "name": "Ministry of Defence" }, "contracts": [ { "id": "004187-2024-709789452B DGM/2042-1", "awardID": "004187-2024-709789452B DGM/2042-1", "title": "Procurement of Cartridge Limpet Mine Disposal Equipment", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 2400000, "currency": "GBP" }, "dateSigned": "2024-02-01T00:00:00Z" } ], "language": "en" }
