This tender falls under the industry category of Electronic Warfare Systems and Counter Measures. The procurement process is at the direct procurement stage, with a total contract value of £29,342,000. The tender period ends on 10th November 2022, and the contract runs from 1st November 2024 to 31st March 2027. The buying organisation, the Ministry of Defence, based in Filton, Bristol, United Kingdom, is seeking a single source award to Leonardo UK Ltd for this specific procurement. This procurement opportunity presents potential for business growth in the Electronic Warfare Systems and Counter Measures industry. Businesses well-suited to compete are those with expertise in Explosive Ordnance Disposal Electronic Counter Measures. As the procurement method is a direct single tender action, companies with a proven track record in providing such specialised services are encouraged to participate. The procurement process managed by the Ministry of Defence aims to integrate cutting-edge technology to meet the defined requirements efficiently and ensure the safety of personnel involved in Explosive Ordnance Disposal activities. ## Notice Voluntary Transparency Notice for the single source award to Leonardo UK Ltd for the procurement of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) to deliver complementary Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RC-IED) Detection solutions. Additional information: The Force Protection Electronic Counter Measures (FPECM) delivery team, part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (MOD), intend to undertake procurement activity with Leonardo UK Ltd to meet the requirements of an Electronic Surveillance capability, specifically the standing requirement of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) to deliver complementary Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RC-IED) Detection solutions to the future ASPARKLE Detection and Electronic Attack system. It is considered that the procurement can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice on the basis that the contract may be awarded only to Leonardo UK Ltd for technical reasons. This approach is attributable to Leonardo UK Ltd being the Systems Integrator for the Project ASPARKLE capability. It is an essential requirement that the RC-IED Detection solutions capability integrates with equipment procured under project ASPARKLE; with capabilities working together as part of the same mission to achieve a seamless understanding of the electromagnetic operating environment allowing the user to make threat to life decisions. Systems must interact in hardware, software and data domains and they will share common resources from a host vehicle platform. As the Systems Integrator and Prime Contractor for project ASPARKLE, Leonardo UK Ltd are the only company with the required knowledge, skills, information and experience to manage this integration. There would be a significant increased threat to life should that integration not be accurately and successfully implemented, or if the capabilities work against one another. In order to manage the integration risk whilst ensuring a fair approach to the market, Leonardo UK Ltd will be mandated to compete for the appropriate technology on behalf of the Ministry of Defence and they will be responsible for overall capability integration. The Authority will have full transparency of the competition(s) for the procurements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bcbef4e3-669a-4099-9768-380202e03815 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 10 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2024 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £29,342,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | FILTON, BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35730000 - Electronic warfare systems and counter measures ## Release History - 27 Oct 2022 at 15:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bcbef4e3-669a-4099-9768-380202e03815 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bcbef4e3-669a-4099-9768-380202e03815 27th October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1a3821f8-0992-4621-aa46-72fb843bbadc n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
