Type of procedure
Negotiated without publication of a contract notice
Justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice
1) Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice
The works/goods/services can be provided only by a particular tenderer for reasons that are:
technical
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 Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) of 2011). This is due to the technical impracticality for another economic operator to undertake the work required within the necessary timescales in order to meet MoD timescales and at the required MAA air worthiness standards for example RA 5850. Only Penny & Giles hold the manufacturing information and current technical expertise necessary to provide the required services.
To contract with another supplier would currently create an unacceptable safety risk for the MOD.
