he Fast Air Support Team (FAST), part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract for the supply of a five year package of software licences and capability and functionality development in relation to the Typhoon Off-line Mission Data Evaluation Tool (OMDET), which is used in connection with the Typhoon Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS), to Leonardo UK Ltd. The contract will have a total value of £2.5m.
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.
