## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the "Post Design Service and Spares Enabling" project to Meggitt (UK) Ltd. The procurement process was conducted using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The project involves the repair of Mk2 AMOS and Type 417F Oxygen Regulators, with a contract value of £404,000. The contracting authority, Ministry of Defence, is located in Bristol, United Kingdom, and the industry category is services related to repair and maintenance.

This tender opportunity offers business growth potential for companies specializing in repair and maintenance services, especially those with expertise in oxygen regulator systems for high-altitude applications. Companies with experience in technical repair, overhaul, and spares provision for critical life support systems could find this tender well-suited for their capabilities. The unique technical requirements of this project, including climatic and altitude acceptance testing, make it a niche opportunity for companies with specialised skills in aerospace or defence-related services.

Repair of Mk2 AMOS and Type 417F Oxygen Regulators, Post Design Services and Spares Enabling.

### Procurement Information

Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. Meggitt are the Design Organisation (DO) for systems used within the High-Altitude Parachute Life Support System (HAPLSS) Capability which includes the Aircraft Modular Oxygen Systems (AMOS) enabling parachutists to pre-breathe oxygen when flying at High Altitudes and Personal Oxygen Regulators used in both flight and when parachuting from High Altitudes. These were originally manufactured by (or companies that are now part of) Meggitt UK Limited. In addition to their DO role, they are the only known company with the capability to provide repair, overhaul, spares provision and conduct the necessary climatic & altitude acceptance tests for these critical life support Oxygen Regulators. The HAPLSS is due to be replaced by a new capability within 4 years and therefore it would not be economical for another company to invest in setting up a test and repair facility and have access to spares.
