The estimated contract value is PS250k excluding VAT. 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 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 (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons. The Military Aviation Authority ("MAA") is part of the Defence Safety Authority and is responsible for the registration and regulation of UK military air systems. While the provisions of the Air Navigation Order made pursuant to the Civil Aviation Act (1982) regulate air navigation in the UK, they do not apply to the MAA. However, in accordance with the Secretary of State for Defence, Health, Safety, and Environment Protection policy statement, it is required that the Authority maintain arrangements that produce outcomes that are, so far as reasonably practicable, at least as good as those required by UK legislation. Consequently, the MAA has established a regulatory framework that reflects the system established by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for Civil Aviation. The CAAi is the only national authority to regulate UK civil aviation by the UK Government and EASA; therefore, they are the only authority what can provide the advice, guidance and collaboration on UK and European Civil Aviation Safety, Regulation and Aircraft Certification. Accordingly, this requirement can only be met by the CAAi. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012173-2024 | | 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 | 15 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Apr 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £250,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY INTERNATIONAL (CAAI | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63732000 - Air-traffic control services ## Release History - 15 Apr 2024 at 12:47 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012173-2024 ## 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.
