The Ministry of Defence (the Authority), intends to award a contract to Supacat Limited for the provision of The Repair of Various Jackal Assemblies and Associated Items for a period of 5 years with the option of a further 2 years. The estimated total contract value is not to exceed £1,526,000.

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). 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)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for technical reasons.

Supacat Limited are the proprietary owners of the technical documentation for these assemblies and such work cannot be undertaken without access to the proprietary design information.

The assemblies to be repaired under this contract are considered to be of a safety critical nature.
