Description
7000000 Lot 1: VTN for the placement of the EOS & GPC Equipment In-Service Support Contract The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (the “Authority”) intends to place a contract with Ultra Maritime UK (the “Company”) for the In-Service Support, including maintenance, repair and replacement component spares for the EOS & GPC Equipment fitted to the QEC platforms. The term of the contract is envisaged to be three years (with an option for the Authority to extend the contract for up to an additional three years). The anticipated value of the contract will be circa £7 million (Seven Million Pounds Sterling). Equipment items included in the scope of the proposed contract are: a. Electro-Optical Director I(EOD) b. EOS equipment cabinets c. Glide Path Camera (GPC) In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (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 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 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because: a. EOS & GPC equipment performs the essential function of managing the known risk of an aircraft crashing whilst attempting to land on board a ship at sea. As such, the Authority requires absolute confidence that repairs and maintenance are carried out in accordance with design specifications, ensuring the equipment is fit for purpose and enabling the Armed Forces to function safely. The safety mitigation that this equipment provides is a key tenet of the Certificate of Safety (Aviation) issued to each aviation-capable platform. b. In respect of EOS & GPC equipment, there is a strict technical impracticability for a candidate other than the Company to achieve the required goals of maintaining and repairing the equipment. This is because only the Company has at its disposal the specialist know-how, extensive technical knowledge and maintenance history of the products concerned and the characteristics of the system(s) being maintained. c. The Company has developed in-house Special To Type Test equipment that is required to maintain, repair, fit and Set to Work the EOS & GPC equipment. d. In respect of the EOS & GPC equipment, the Company is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these systems. This range of equipment is designed to mitigate safety risks associated with landing aircraft on ships at sea. The Company is responsible for the overall system integrity and safe installation and operability, ensuring form fit for function is maintained and certifying that this safety-critical equipment remains fit for purpose, at both component and system level. e. EOS is a combined set of common equipment that must operate effectively and reliably as a complete system capability. The Company is the only supplier able to perform the services due to its extensive technical knowhow. f. In respect of the EOS & GPC equipment, the Company is the OEM and holds all IPR rights as these equipment items were designed as a sole venture. There is a strict technical impracticability for a candidate other than the Company to achieve the required goals of maintaining and repairing the equipment. This is because only the Company has at its disposal the specialist know-how, extensive technical knowledge and maintenance history of the products and the characteristics of the system(s) being maintained.
