## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has completed the awarding stage of the public procurement process for the Warrior Training System (WTS), a contract valued at £3,500,000. Operating under a "limited" procurement method, the MoD placed a single-source contract without prior publication of a contract notice, justifying this due to technical reasons and the unique qualifications of the supplier. The contract has been awarded to CAE (UK) PLC based in West Sussex, United Kingdom, for an initial period of one year, with options to extend yearly for up to three additional years. The industry category is training services in defence and security materials within the UK, and all training will be conducted in line with the Government Security Classification policy.

This tender represents a considerable opportunity for organisations specialised in defence training systems or related technical support services to engage in subcontracting roles, especially those experienced in maintaining and managing ageing defence equipment. Businesses with expertise in creating sophisticated training simulation systems could find subcontracting potential under CAE's leadership. The specified requirements create collaborative opportunities for technical experts to address the challenge of obsolescence management within the armed forces' training systems, aiding in the long-term sustenance and enhancement of critical military training infrastructure.

## Notice

The MoD intends to place a single source contract with CAE (UK) plc for an initial period of 1 year, with options to extend for a further 3 years (in 1-year increments), therefore the contract duration will be for a maximum 4 years.

### Lot Information

The Training Simulation Systems Programme within Defence Equipment and Support, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has a requirement for Warrior Training Systems (WTS). WTS comprises of the Warrior Gunnery Turret Trainer (WRGTT), Warrior Desk Top Trainer (WRDTT), and the Artillery Fire Control Trainer (AFCT). The gunner and commander training progression uses the in-service WRGTT, WRPTT and WRDTT to train individuals and crews before they progress onto the vehicle and live firing.

### Procurement Information

In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this Contract falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). 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 this Contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. Due to the duration of the service of WTS there is a challenge to maintain aging equipment. Furthermore, the estimated out of service date (OSD) for WTS is between 2027 and 2030, meaning obsolescence management is a priority for the contract. With CAE being the Design Authority (DA) and the originator of the production manuals and technical drawings for WTS, this means that CAE Plc is the only economic operator with the required technical expertise required to perform the Contract.
