Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice
- The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development
- Additional deliveries by the original supplier
Explanation:
Defence Digital, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to CRFS Ltd, for the purchase of AoA and TDoA RF Monitoring nodes from CRFS that will be used with the existing TDoA nodes MOD currently owns, previously purchased from CRFS.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 32(5)(b) of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for additional purchase or hire of goods from the original supplier where they are in addition to existing goods. This is because the complexity of the goods and the associated requirements for interoperability of the new goods and the existing goods and the need for standardisation of equipment in the defence and security arena, requires supply by the same manufacturer. A change in supplier to obtain similar equipment would result in incompatibility with the goods covered by the original contract.
four.1.3) Information about a framework agreement
The procurement involves the establishment of a framework agreement
four.1.8) Information about the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA)
The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: No
