Description

Voluntary Transparency Notice- FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY

Apache Capability Sustainment Programme, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("MoD"), intends to award a contract to Ultra Electronics Limited ("Ultra Electronics") for the purchase of three (3) PTS8000 equipment sets for a duration of 1 year starting in January 2020 . The contract value is anticipated to be three hundred twenty five thousand pounds sterling (£325,000) ex VAT. It should be noted that this value is to be used for informative purposes only for providing the scope of the requirement by value as required.
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 (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) because competition is absent for technical reasons. This is because Ultra Electronics are the only economic operator that has access to the required designs, expertise or intellectual property to fulfil the requirement. The equipment is critical to ascertaining airworthiness of the AH-64E platforms Defensive Aids Suite System and any other option would have to sub-contract to Ultra Electronics in order to fulfil this requirement, therefore it is considered that only Ultra Electronics are capable of providing the service required.
