Legal Justification

The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (the Authority) intends to place a contract with BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited for in-service support (including technical knowledge, documentary support and the provision and integration of critical spares and repairs) and recapitalisation of complex hydraulic systems in respect of the submarine motion control systems (including one and two man control systems, the Hover and Missile Compensation System, the Autopilot and Digital Depth) on board the Vanguard and Trafalgar Class Submarines (the Contract). The Contract has an anticipated duration of 5 years with early termination provisions if required and an approximate value of £47 million pounds sterling (ex VAT). It is considered that this Contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC and Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011 (SI No. 1848) on the basis that BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited is the only economic operator capable of meeting the Authority's requirements under the Contract. BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited alone possesses the relevant knowledge and experience relating to the design of the Vanguard and Trafalgar Class Submarines and the operation, testing and repair of the submarine motion system on each of those submarines.
