## Summary

The Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom has awarded a contract titled "£2.792" for the procurement of specialist vehicles, specifically focusing on the supply of spares and repairs for aircraft and ground support equipment refuelling vehicles. The procurement process followed a limited method, which does not include prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract is set to be active following its signing on 11th February 2022. This extension of an existing contract with Kellog Brown and Root (KBR) includes a total cost of up to £279,200, with potential further extensions of 12 months and 6 months, ensuring continuity in crucial technical support until the planned life extension programme for aircraft refuelling vehicles is completed.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in aircraft maintenance and supply chain management, as well as manufacturers of specialist vehicle parts. Companies that specialise in technical services related to aircraft and ground support equipment, as well as those with established relationships within the defence sector, would be particularly well-placed to compete for future opportunities arising from the Aircraft Refueller Vehicles Project, which will be announced through a separate notice. The current requirement underscores the value of maintaining strong supply relationships and technical expertise in a complex and evolving environment.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply of Spares & Repairs, Calibration of Components for Aircraft and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Refuelling Vehicles

Options: 12 Month + 6 Month Option periods in addition to 12 Month extension.

### Procurement Information

The Air Commodities Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority") intends to extend the existing Contract ACCOMM2C/7079 with Kellog Brown and Root (KBR) for a period of 12 months, with further option periods of 12 months, and 6 months respectively at a total cost of up to PSXXm.. The current Contract runs to 15th May 2022 and provides support for Aircraft Refueller Vehicles through the procurement and upkeep of Spares, Repairs, and Post Design Service (PDS) Tasks for both Aircraft and Ground Support Equipment (GSE). 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)(d)(aa) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011: It has been deemed necessary to extend the existing service for technical reasons in addition to the fact to compete the requirement at this time would cause significant disruption to the Aircraft refuelling capability. The extension to contract ACCOMM2C/7079 ensures a level of SQEP is maintained whilst the newly awarded Large Capacity Aircraft Refueller/ Small Capacity Aircraft Refueller (LCAR/SCAR) life extension programme progresses to navigate trials, design review and initial production of the fleet. Due to the complexity of the LCAR/SCAR LEP project it would not be strategically wise or economically advantageous to recompete the refueller requirement at this time for the following reasons: a) KBR has been deemed the only economic operator with access to current technical expertise, which maintains business continuity in the aircraft refueller space, including the LCAR/SCAR Fleet. The loss of KBRs technical expertise at this stage in the LCAR/SCAR project could have safety implications on the end user if sufficient SQEP is not available during asset trials or initial delivery. b) In addition, with regards to supporting the wider fleet of Aircraft Refuelling vehicles, KBR is in a unique position in that they possess working relationships with lower tier suppliers, ensuring support to the multiple variations of refuelling assets, which are experiencing significant obsolescence issues. Furthermore, KBR possess the knowledge of MOD supply chain processes specific to this requirement, which are vital in satisfying routine and mission critical spares demands in a timely manner, maintaining operational output during a time of global supply chain instability. Finally, Industry will be encouraged to express their interest for the Aircraft Refueller Vehicles Project through a separate notice published in the future.
