The contract, valued at £1.26 million, is for an initial period of 3 years with two 1-year option extensions. The procurement falls under the services category, with the main procurement method being a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process was initiated via a tender, centred around the assessment and assurance of competence for UK Defence Air Environment activities. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the IT services industry, specifically those offering consulting, software development, and internet support, to compete for a significant contract with the Ministry of Defence. Businesses with expertise in delivering technical support for aviation-related activities would be well-suited to pursue this opportunity. The contract location is in the United Kingdom, and the duration, value, and specialisation required make it an attractive prospect for qualified organisations seeking growth opportunities in the public procurement sector. ## Notice THE PROVISION OF EXTERNALTECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR DAOS AND MAOS ### Lot Information Lot 1 THE PROVISION OF EXTERNALTECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR DAOS AND MAOS Options: Ext Option x 1 yr: PS0.42 Million Ext Option x 1 yr: PS0.42 Million TCV over 5 yrs: PS2.10 Million (if both 1 yr options are taken up, subject to volume demand) ### Procurement Information The Military Aviation Authority ("MAA") is part of the Defence Safety Authority, which is part of the Ministry of Defence ("the Authority"), intends to award a contract to the Civil Aviation Authority International (CAAi) for the provision of assessment and assurance of the competence of organisations undertaking activities for the UK Defence Air Environment for a period of 3 years with additional 2 x 1 option years. The estimated contract value is PS1.26M excluding VAT . The contract will be based on a Nil Volume Commitment basis with throughput value estimated at up to PS420K per annum but potentially at nil cost to the MAA as costs should largely rest with the MoD industry partners being assessed and audited. 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 MAA has an ongoing requirement for external technical support to be provided in order to undertake the assessment of organisations already included in the Design and Maintenance Approved Organisation Schemes (DAOS and MAOS). The requirement can only be delivered by CAAi because the CAAi is the technical cooperation arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority and is the only organisation that has the required expertise and technical knowledge to deliver for the requirement. The MAA view is that only the CAAi can viably deliver this technical support with the credibility and integrity required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019727-2024 | | 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 | 27 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Jun 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 | £126,000,000 | ## 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 | INNSWORTH, GLOUCESTER | | 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 | CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY INTERNATIONAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 27 Jun 2024 at 16:03 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019727-2024 ## 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.
