This procurement process, classified under Administrative Educational Services, is valued at £305,000 excluding VAT. The award stage concluded on 22nd August 2024, following a negotiation without prior publication due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract primarily involves services and covers delivery within the United Kingdom. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in administrative and educational services, particularly those catering to the defence sector or possessing expertise in membership management schemes. Such businesses, especially if they specialise in negotiating tailored service agreements, could benefit significantly from contracts of this nature. Given the scale and specific requirements, larger organisations with a capability for specialised service delivery would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement processes undertaken by the Ministry of Defence. ## Notice Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence intends to enter into a three (3) year contract with the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) with a value of PS0.305M VAT-Ex (Three Hundred and Five Thousand pounds) for the delivery of a Central Payment Scheme (CPS) for the provision of RAeS membership for DE&S employees. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence intends to enter into a three (3) year contract with the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) with a value of PS0.305M VAT-Ex (Three Hundred and Five Thousand pounds) for the delivery of a Central Payment Scheme (CPS) for the provision of RAeS membership for DE&S employees. ### Procurement Information Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence intends to enter into a three (3) year contract with the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) with a value of PS0.305M VAT-Ex (Three Hundred and Five Thousand pounds) for the delivery of a Central Payment Scheme (CPS) for the provision of RAeS membership for DE&S employees. 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(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons based on the following justification: RAeS is the only professional body covering the engineering discipline/industry sector of engineering and technology and there is no other institute authorised by the Engineering Council for this specific discipline. Therefore, only RAeS can provide for the delivery of the Central Payment Scheme for the RAeS membership required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027374-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Aug 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 | £305,000 | ## 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 | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ROYAL AERONAUTICAL SOCIETY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75121000 - Administrative educational services ## Release History - 28 Aug 2024 at 08:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027374-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.contracts.mod.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
