Description

The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a 1-year contract (with an optional extension year for contingency) with a value of £358,000.00 to Saab for the provision of maintenance and support of a remote tower solution at RNAS Predannack. 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. This is because Royal Navy needs to be able to have the equipment maintained by the OEM and as this is innovative and emerging technology only the OEM is capable of providing the requirement can only be met by Saab as no alternative or substitutes can be used to ensure the equipment is properly maintained and supported for the proof-of-concept activity.
