The contract, valued at £2.0 million, is intended to be awarded to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited, with a contract period starting from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027. The procurement method is a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The tender period ends on June 3, 2024, and the contract falls under repair and maintenance services of military electronic systems category. This opportunity presents potential business growth for companies capable of providing post design services and industrial support for military electronic systems. Businesses with expertise in this field and the technical capability to maintain and enhance the Air Defence Training Simulator may find this tender suitable for their growth prospects. The Ministry of Defence, as the buying organization, seeks to engage with qualified suppliers to ensure operational effectiveness and minimise risks associated with software reverse engineering. ## Notice The Air Defence & Electronics Warfare Delivery Team, part of the Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited for three years plus two option years, with a value of PS2.0 million, to provide Post Design Services and Industrial Support for the Air Defence Training Simulator (ADSIM) at the Defence College of Air and Space Operations. The Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is Low. (Reference RAR-240516A09). In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this contract 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 this contract can be awarded without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because BAE Systems (Operations) Limited is the Design Authority for ADSIM and has the expertise, know-how and technical documentation (including in particular the source code for the software) necessary to both safely maintain ADISM and enhance it to meet future requirements. A new supplier would need to reverse engineer the software. This would introduce unacceptable risk to the integrity of ADSIM, its functionality and its operational effectiveness, and as a consequence risk to personnel and equipment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dceb6446-8c8a-44b0-bab3-9d978d962eac | | 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 | 24 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2025 - 31 Dec 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | 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 | HENLOW | | Post town | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG16 6DN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Clifton, Henlow & Langford | | Westminster constituency | Hitchin | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50660000 - Repair and maintenance services of military electronic systems ## Release History - 24 May 2024 at 14:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dceb6446-8c8a-44b0-bab3-9d978d962eac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dceb6446-8c8a-44b0-bab3-9d978d962eac 24th May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
