## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the provision of spares and Post Design Services for Passenger Short Term Air Supply System. The procurement was classified under CPV code 44611200 for Breathing apparatus. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method involving negotiations without publication of a contract notice. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence based in Bristol, UK. The contract has been awarded to APEKS MARINE EQUIPMENT LIMITED, a company specialising in marine equipment. The contract is currently active, with a value of 4500 GBP, signed on 15th February 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the goods industry, particularly those involved in providing breathing apparatus and related services. The unique procurement method rationale states that only a specific economic operator, in this case, APEKS, has the necessary technical knowledge to meet the required standards. Therefore, businesses with specialised expertise in breathing apparatus and air supply systems similar to the Ministry of Defence's requirements would be well-suited to compete in this contract. The contract includes options for ongoing support, repairs, and modifications, offering potential for long-term business growth to the awarded supplier.

### Procurement Information

In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). 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 32(5)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for technical reasons. This is due to the technical impracticality for another economic operator to undertake the work required to meet MoD timescales and at the required Military Aviation Authority air worthiness standards. APEKS is the only company with the necessary knowledge and understanding of the existing equipment used across multiple Air Defence Platforms which includes designs, drawings, manufacturing data packs and intimate technical know-how as the Original Equipment Manufacturer. To contract with another supplier would currently create an unacceptable safety risk for the MOD.
