The title of the tender is "Ship Sensor and Monitoring System placement of EID and Two-year extension". The procurement method is a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with a total contract value of £4.9 million. The contract period spans from April 10, 2023, to March 14, 2025, with the tender submission deadline set for March 29, 2023. This opportunity presented by the Ministry of Defence is well-suited for businesses involved in maintenance services of radio-communications equipment. The procurement stage is at a tendering phase, offering business growth potential to companies specializing in the maintenance and support of ship sensors and monitoring systems. Businesses with expertise in providing through-life maintenance and support services to defence projects, especially related to T45 and QEC Classes, would find this tender suitable for their participation and expansion of their portfolio. ## Notice Ship sensor and Monitoring System placement of EID and Two-year extension Additional information: The Secretary of State for Defence (the Authority) through the Communications & Situational Awareness (CSA) Project Team within Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), intends to extend the extant Contract CSA/3060 with BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited (New Malden) ("the Contractor") for the continuing through-life maintenance and support, including spares provision, across T45 and QEC Classes for Ships Sensors and Monitoring Systems for a period of 2 (two) years from July 2023 until July 2025 in accordance with the intent in the original advert to contract for a period of 3 years with a possible additional 2 years; all within the advertised value of PS4.99M. 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 (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 by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because the Contractor is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Design Authority (DA) for each of the SSAMS systems. As such, it is the only company with the drawings/schematics, historic development and integration information, system expertise and test equipment to provide the necessary technical support to ensure that the SSAMS systems, the vessels in which they are fitted, and the aircraft operating from them all function together safely and comply with legislation, and, in the case of METOC, meet the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) requirements. Additionally, the Secretary of State for Defence (the Authority) through the Communications & Situational Awareness (CSA) Project Team within Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), intends to amend the extant Contract CSA/3060 with BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited (New Malden) ("the Contractor") for the provision and support of a capability to enable the use of the Electronic Information Displays (EIDs) fitted to HMS Prince of Wales requiring development and integration of bespoke software and associated new hardware to a value of not more than PS0.6M (ex - VAT). This new capability will require the requisite regulatory certification before it is allowed onboard. A third-party would not possess the required equipment or system background knowledge to provide the advice or documentation required in order to achieve Safety Certification, Security Accreditation and interoperability of the equipment whilst ensuring functionality is maintained and remains certified through life. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f2bff41-bdeb-45c8-95b8-b7c19717d0e2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 29 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Apr 2023 - 14 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,900,000 | | 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 | 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 | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50333000 - Maintenance services of radio-communications equipment ## Release History - 15 Mar 2023 at 11:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f2bff41-bdeb-45c8-95b8-b7c19717d0e2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f2bff41-bdeb-45c8-95b8-b7c19717d0e2 15th March 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
