Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice

  • No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to restricted procedure
  • The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development

Explanation:

The Naval Base Command Devonport (NBC(D)) team, acting on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD),

hereby provides notice that, in the ‘absence of tenders or suitable tenders’ in response to a previous restricted

procedure (ITT 702785451), for the Provision of Reception Centre Services at HMNB Devonport, it shall implement

a procedural switch in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contract

Regulations (DSPCR (2011)).

In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations

2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public

Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). 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 16(1)(a)(i) of the DSPCR 2011 in the absence of any

tenders being submitted in response to the restricted procedure. The MOD has subsequently assessed the offered

scope and associated documentation. The conclusion of this assessment is that the requirement remains valid. In

order to comply with Health and Safety Legislation, MOD Policy & Regulatory requirements and provide the

appropriate security effect to HMNB Devonport; the MOD intends to place a contract using the negotiated procedure

without prior publication of a contract notice to negotiate with Devonport Royal Dockyard Limited (DRDL), on the

basis that the original terms of the proposed contract offered in the discontinued restricted procedure will not be

substantially altered.

The contract duration remains unchanged from the restricted procedure and shall cover an initial period of 5 years

with further options to extend the contract period for a maximum of 2 years. The contract value is estimated to

range between £3.5M to £4M (ex VAT) (inclusive of options).

For any additional information, please contact Julie.Rawlinson103@mod.gov.uk.
