It is considered that the contract can be awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16 (1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. The current ISS contract with OSK is due to expire on 31 Mar 2023. The platforms' Out of Service (OSD) date has recently been extended to 31 Mar 2030 necessitating a support arrangement to be secured. Only OSK, the Design Authority and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has access to the technical information, expertise, knowledge and know-how necessary to provide the Authority with assurance that the operational effectiveness and safety of the platforms will not be compromised. A third party would not be able to carry out this work without access to the necessary design and technical information which is required to ensure the goods are produced and provided to the correct technical specification, in terms of quality, performance and safety. The Services being procured under this contract are safety critical to the operation of the platforms and so must be produced to the correct specification. The platforms technical information is not available to the Authority and are owned by the Contractor in their role of OEM and the Authority does not have the necessary rights to provide that information to a third party. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020281-2023 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Mar 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £96,475,833 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | 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 | OSHKOSH DEFENSE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 34133100 - Tankers - 34223340 - Tanker trailers - 73423000 - Development of military vehicles ## Release History - 14 Jul 2023 at 11:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020281-2023 - 25 Mar 2022 at 11:55 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008128-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
