Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below

  • No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to restricted procedure

Explanation:

The Military Aviation Authority (“MAA”) is part of the Defence Safety Authority, which is part of the

Ministry of Defence (“the Authority”), intends to award a contract to the Civil Aviation Authority

International (CAAi) for the provision of assessment and assurance of the competence of organisations

undertaking activities for the UK Defence Air Environment for a period of 3 years with additional 2 × 1

option years. The estimated contract value is £1.26M excluding VAT . The contract will be based on a Nil

Volume Commitment basis with throughput value estimated at up to £420K per annum but potentially at

nil cost to the MAA as costs should largely rest with the MoD industry partners being assessed and

audited.

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(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition

is absent for technical reasons.

The MAA has an ongoing requirement for external technical support to be provided in order to undertake

the assessment of organisations already included in the Design and Maintenance Approved Organisation

Schemes (DAOS and MAOS). The requirement can only be delivered by CAAi because the CAAi is the

technical cooperation arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority and is the only organisation that has the

required expertise and technical knowledge to deliver for the requirement. The MAA view is that only the

CAAi can viably deliver this technical support with the credibility and integrity required.

four.1.8) Information about the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA)

The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: Yes
