## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD), located in Bristol, UK, has initiated a procurement process titled "Spares Support of 20mm KAA Ordnance and 20mm GAMB01 Gun Mount." This tender falls under the goods category with a classification in the machine guns industry. The process is currently at the amendment stage, having been updated most recently on 28th March 2022, where the Ministry announced the cancellation of the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for these spares. The planned phased removal of the gun systems from Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary platforms is scheduled from April 2022 to March 2023, during which existing spares will be utilised to support remaining assets. It is indicated that no new procurement process for these goods will commence without future advertisement by the authority.

This tender presents opportunities primarily for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of military equipment, particularly those that can provide specialised spares and support services for armaments. Companies in the defence sector that have capabilities in logistics, repair, and maintenance of military hardware would be well-suited to engage with the Ministry of Defence, especially considering the potential for future procurement opportunities as the authority navigates the ongoing removal of the gun systems. As the Ministry has indicated intentions for future procurements if circumstances change, businesses should remain alert and prepared to participate in upcoming related opportunities.

## Notice

Supply of Spares Support of 20mm KAA Ordnance and 20mm GAMB01 Gun Mount

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The requirement is for a supply of Spares for 20mm KAA Ordinance and 20mm GAMB01 Gun Mount. The requirement is for the initial order of spares followed by ad hoc purchases throughout duration of the contract.

### Procurement Information

The International Guns, Missiles and Rockets Project Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (the Authority), intends to place a contract for the supply of spares for 20mm KAA Cannon & GAMB01 Mount. The estimated value of the contract is PS1,863,000 and will be for a term of 4 years. In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement 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 the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(i) of the DSPCR 2011 because of the absence of suitable tenders. The Authority competed the requirement for the supply of spares for 20mm KAA cannon & GAMB01 Mount following the restricted procedure under the DSPCR (Tender 700177316 - 20mm KAA Cannon & GAMB01 Mount Spares). The Authority has received only one response to Tender 700177316 from Babcock International Group, Devonport Royal Dockyard , which was considered (without substantial changes) incapable of meeting the requirements specified in the procurement documents and therefore unsuitable. In accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(i), in light of an absence of suitable tenders in response to the restricted procedure the Authority will use the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice to negotiate, on the basis that the original terms of the proposed contract offered in the restricted procedure are not substantially altered in the negotiated procedure.
