It is considered that this Contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 32(2)(b)(ii) of Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) for technical reasons. This is on the basis that: (a) Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd are the only supplier able to provide support and training for this tool that meets all the MoD's requirements, including its technical and airworthiness safety alignment requirements. To utilize 3rd party support and training would create significant and unacceptable risk to Air Safety across multiple Aircraft Platforms, potentially resulting in a loss of airworthiness and a substantial and unacceptable reduction in the operability of all the affected aircraft platforms. In addition, only Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd, as the designer of the tool, have the necessary skills, experience, knowledge and access to provide the required technical support and user training, and to receive user feedback and make changes and fixes based upon this, a crucial element of this continuing support. Finally, only Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd are able to maintain the interface with HERMES and ASPIRE, two other Airworthiness tools built by Frazer-Nash for other parts of MoD, a different contractor would not be able to use these interfaces and this data would have to be transferred manually, a process which would take too long to maintain currency of data and would therefore compromise the tool.
