This procurement falls under the services category, classified as software supply services. The contract, awarded to BAE Systems Defence Information with an estimated value of £76,100, was carried out using a limited procurement method characterised by a negotiated process without prior publication of a contract notice. The award was officially signed on 18 March 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in software development and IT services, particularly those specialising in defence technology solutions. Companies with the capacity to provide unique software tools for aircraft maintenance and management, especially those that can integrate with existing defence systems, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The exclusive nature of the software and the specific requirements set forth by the Ministry of Defence indicate a niche market with potential for growth in high-value contracts. ## Notice Purchase of trilogiBuild Software Licences ### Lot Information Lot 1 Requirement for a 2 year contract to purchase two trilogiBuild software licences to provide aircraft maintenance data at point of use. ### Procurement Information The Lightning II Delivery Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("MOD"), intends to place a 2 year contract with BAE Systems PLC to purchase two software licences for the BAE Systems PLC trilogiBuild software application, part of the trilogiView(r) suite of products produced by BAE Systems PLC, for use in connection with the trilogiView(r) toolset for generating, distributing, viewing and managing interactive electronic technical publications, which is mandated under the F-35 Program. The contract will have an estimated value of PS76,100. It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015) for technical reasons. This is because UK technical publication DAP101B-8600-2(N/R)1 Support Authority General Orders & Special Instructions LII F-35 (all marks), which contains the relevant UK technical information and Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Articles ("RAs") is incompatible with trilogiView(r) resulting in aircraft maintainers being unable to access all the required air system maintenance technical information on the portable maintenance aids at the point of use, as required by RA 1310 Air System Document Set, thus inhibiting the required maintenance of the aircraft and causing a risk to aircraft safety. The purchase of the trilogiBuild licences, which are only available from BAE Systems PLC, the owner of the IPR, will enable the conversion of the 2(N/R)1 file data into a trilogiView(r) compatible format that can be viewed correctly on the maintainer's portable maintenance aids as required by RA-1310, thus enabling compliance with RA 1310. It would only be possible to provide 2(N/R)1 data at the point of use without trilogiView(r) compatibility by procuring additional hardware and additional software and subjecting all required interface changes to full technical and security re-validation and accreditation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005572-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £76,100 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | KING'S LYNN | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BAE SYSTEMS DEFENCE INFORMATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72268000 - Software supply services ## Release History - 18 Mar 2021 at 22:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005572-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.mod.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
