Babcock Land Defence Limited, acting as the Agent to the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to negotiate a single source contract with Perkins Engines for supply of parts for the CV8 & CV12 engines and the X300 transmission system utilised across the Warrior, Challenger, Titan, Trojan & CRAARV platforms

It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (Article 28(1) (e) of Directive 2009/81/EC) for technical reasons.

The duration of the proposed contract is seven (7) years with an estimated value of £20 million

This is a critical requirement for CV12, CV8 engines and X300 transmission. All spare and/or replacement parts must be provided in accordance with the original equipment manufacturer - specification/standards. Perkins Engines Company Limited is the original equipment manufacturer and proprietary owner of the design for the specified spare/replacement parts and therefore has access to the related design, information and technical specifications/data/knowledge. These design drawings and technical specifications have not been made available to any other supplier. Without access to such design drawings and technical specifications another supplier would not be able to ensure that the original equipment manufacturer specifications/standards are met and therefore to ensure that the safety and suitability of the overall platforms is not compromised.

As a result, Perkins Engines Company Limited is the only supplier able to undertake the scope of this requirement at this time.
