It is considered that this contract can be awarded using the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii), Regulation 16(1)(b)(i)(aa) and Regulation 16(1)(b)(i)(bb) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011). The UK Ministry of Defence requirement is for the supply of interoperable track and ancillaries for AS90, Bulldog, Challenger 2, CRARRV, CVRT, Terrier, Titan, Trojan, Warrior (WR2 Spec) and Stormer and associated items; this requirement is to facilitate the refurbishment and regeneration of the current fleets whilst the implications of the Integrated Review are reviewed and fully understood.

Without access to this technical data, the UK Ministry of Defence is not in a position to identify the exact technical requirements for the supply of these items; without this technical data and knowledge these items cannot be produced safely and be fully interoperable with existing track to the exact standards as defined in the original design and specification, thereby compromising the integrity of the product on safety and performance grounds. As a result, Cook Defence Systems Ltd is the only company with the technical knowhow to be able to fulfill this requirement.
