The procurement was initiated as a tender and has recently concluded on 13th December 2021. The awarded contract, amounting to £293,000, extends the capabilities for the support of the Atlas AC Loader and Dolly/Double Dolly Interface Systems. This process was conducted under a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without the prior publication of a contract notice, as the service can only be provided by the designated supplier, JBT Aerotech UK Limited. The contract will remain active until 30th June 2023. This procurement opportunity presents substantial potential for business growth, particularly for suppliers with specialised capabilities in the defence sector. Businesses engaged in maintenance and repair services, especially those with expertise in support for military vehicles and systems, would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts associated with this procurement. Given the exclusive position of JBT Aerotech UK Limited as the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the Atlas systems, other suppliers looking to enter this market should consider developing niche technical skills and partnerships that align with the Ministry of Defence's requirements for similar support services. ## Notice Amendment 32 to ACCOMM/00100 - 18 Month Extension to existing capability for the support of ATLAS AC LOADER AND DOLLY/DOUBLE DOLLY INTERFACE SYSTEMS (DIS/DDIS) ### Lot Information Lot 1 Amendment 32 to ACCOMM/00100 - 18 Month Extension to existing capability for the support of ATLAS AC LOADER AND DOLLY/DOUBLE DOLLY INTERFACE SYSTEMS (DIS/DDIS) ### Procurement Information "The Air Commodities Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority") intends to extend the existing contract ACCOMM/000100 with JBT Aerotech UK Limited for the Post Design Services (PDS), Spares and Repairs for the Atlas, DIS and DDIS Trailers from 31st Dec 21 to 30th Jun 23, in order to maintain an interim solution whilst negotiating a Single Source future contract. The VTN for the future contract will be published under separate cover via the Defence Sourcing Portal prior to 30th Jun 23. It is considered that the contract can be extended using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons, the contract may be awarded only to this particular economic operator. The reasons for this are as follows: JBT Aerotech UK Limited is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for Atlas Aircraft Loader and DDIS Trailers - These are prime vehicles of choice by Front Line Command for deployment to move consignments of freight, and for on/off aircraft loading. The Atlas Loader and DDIS is viewed as a Force Multiplier, should this asset not be available it would severely limit or jeopardise planned and future aircraft freight movement. JBT Aerotech UK Limited hold exclusive intellectual property rights and proprietary information in the form of the documentation setting out the manufacture of the equipment, which is unavailable to other economic operators. Alternative providers would therefore be unable to replicate spare parts for the Atlas Aircraft Loader and DDIS Trailers with any certainty. Therefore this requirement can only be met safely by the OEM JBT Aerotech UK Limited. For these reasons, the specialist skills, know-how and technical information required, this equipment would not be available from an alternative supplier. As a result, JBT Aerotech UK Limited is the only company able to fulfil the requirement that is being pursued by the Authority. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031033-2021 | | 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 | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Dec 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 | £293,000 | ## 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 | BRISTOL | | 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 | JBT AEROTECH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services ## Release History - 13 Dec 2021 at 22:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031033-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://des.mod.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
