Legal Justification
The Secretary of State for Defence intends to enter into a Services contract with Additive Manufacturing Solutions Limited (AMS) for them to deliver a research and development technical feasibility study in regard the recycling of extant materiel into additive manufacturing feedstock. The total estimated value of this procurement is £110,000 ex VAT. In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement shall be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 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(s) 14(a) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This is because the proposed contractor has a unique knowledge of the end-to-end processes and know-how to integrate multiple technical information, practical experimentation, and academic & industry knowledge sources to conduct this research and development technical feasibility study to analyse this potential new technology and/or capability area and report on its technical viability and benefits. This unique knowledge could not be replicated in a reasonable time frame or at a reasonable expense. Additionally, the contract will be for research, experimentation, study or development at a low Technology Readiness Level. To avoid any confusion, this contract does not include the analysis of the commercial viability or deliver a production quantity scale. Any subject to contract future work beyond research, experimentation, study or development shall be competitively actioned through Industry
