## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is awarding a three-year extension for the contract titled "Supply, Spares and Post Design Services for Aircrew Helmets," valued at £9,775,263. This decision follows the negotiated procedure without prior publication, as only Helmet Integrated Systems Ltd possesses the technical skills and proprietary documentation required for the execution of these services. The procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically military helmets, and is being carried out in Bristol, UK. The contract extension was signed on 14 December 2021, which marks a critical date in the procurement process.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in the production and supply of military-grade equipment, particularly those with capabilities in advanced safety and design services. Companies that have access to the necessary technical documentation or proprietary data, or those that can prove their compliance with high safety standards, would be well-positioned to engage with the Ministry of Defence for future contracts. The limited procurement method suggests a significant barrier to entry; therefore, entities with existing relationships or similar capabilities to Helmet Integrated Systems may find avenues for collaboration or alternative project opportunities.

### Procurement Information

Since we have left the EU the EU Regs do not apply. The grounds for this extension are as follows: This 3 year extension to the original contract is being awarded under the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in accordance with Regulation 16 of the DSPCR 2011. The works/goods/services can be provided only by Helmet Integrated Systems on Technical Grounds. The Air Commodities team intends to award a 3 year extension to the original contract awarded in December 2016. Helmet integrated Systems have the technical know-how, access to the required safety requirements and technical documentation to fulfil the requirement to the required safety levels. As the supplier is the OEM for the equipment they have access to data/documents that are proprietary, necessary for the fulfilment of the requirement which no other contractor has access to therefore no other contractor could fulfil this requirement.
