Description
The Ministry of Defence (the Authority) intends to enter into a supply contract with Blakely Electrical Ltd
for the purchase of Light and Power Distribution Systems for use in MoD Abbey Wood for a duration of
4 years.
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 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 (as
required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the PCR
2015 because Blakely Electrical are the OEM of the NSN's to be procured under this contract. Technical
information is not available to support a competition due to a lack of technical drawings. Spares must
be procured to the manufacturers part number (MPN)'s detailed on CSIS. The majority of the NSN's
within scope of this requirement are codified to Blakely Electrical; who are the current incumbent and
have been since 2015. The two previous competitions highlighted that other potential suppliers are
unable to supply the complete basket of items required.
Blakely Electrical have the product knowledge and expertise to fulfil this requirement successfully.
