## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) of the United Kingdom has awarded a contract for Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) and Post Design Services (PDS) for the Next-generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW) System and the Carl-Gustaf Weapon System to Saab Dynamics AB. This procurement falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of weapons and weapon systems. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified for technical reasons as Saab Dynamics AB is the sole entity capable of fulfilling the contract requirements. The contract, with an estimated value of £4.75 million, was signed on 1st August 2024 and will span a duration of 5 years. The primary location for service is Karlskoga, Sweden.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the defence logistics and maintenance sector, particularly those specialising in technical advice, defect investigation, and repair services for weapon systems. Large-scale defence suppliers with extensive technical expertise and proprietary knowledge of complex weapon systems are ideally suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in this contract enables businesses to contribute to the defence infrastructure and benefit from stable, long-term agreements with a high-value client like the Ministry of Defence. Additionally, subcontracting opportunities may further benefit smaller industry players.

It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulation (DSPCR) 2011 for technical reasons. The Company is the Design Authority (DA) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Equipment and, as such, is the only organisation with the requisite technical knowledge, expertise, and know-how necessary to fulfil the requirement as it holds the proprietary information, including all the available technical information (drawings, interfaces, test and calibration specifications/ procedures, jigs, and tools etc.) necessary to undertake the full in-service support of the system and to ensure that it operates safely. The Company also owns and maintains the master design documentation underpinning the safety case and is able to underwrite any safety modification should they be required.
