Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated without a prior call for competition

  • The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development
  • The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
    • absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

The Security Infrastructure Team, part of the Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to G4S Limited (G4S) for the provision of Mobile Security Equipment (Equipment) at MoD sites at Kineton and Beith. The contract shall be for 6 months and shall have a value of £7,000,000. 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 this contract can be awarded without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons. This is because G4S is already contracted to provide the Security Control Centres (SCC) at MoD Abbey Wood in Bristol and the data and video feeds from the new Equipment need to be interoperable with those at Kineton and Beith. In addition, no other supplier would be able to achieve the necessary Military Aviation Authority and Cyber accreditations within a reasonable timescale to enable MoD to address heightened security concerns which have recently been raised at Kineton and Beith.

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

The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: No
