Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
It is considered that this contract can be placed with Fujitsu using the
negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive
2009/81/EC (Regulations 16 (1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contract
Regulations 2011). This is for the following Technical Reasons: BAES are an approved
design organisation under the Military Aviation Authority’s Design Approved
Organisation Scheme and within that approval are listed as Senior Design staff with
approval to certify Design Certificates for Typhoon software and Hardware. The Military
Aviation Authority (MAA) requires that this DAOS approved organisation has extensive
Typhoon Engineering Support Subsystem design experience and this currently cannot
be achieved outside of the BAES environment in the case of UK Engineering Support
Subsystem, ESS. BAES as the Design Authority determine the type and specification of
the hardware we require, which is signed off by the Design Authorities safety and
Airworthiness team. The support contract can only be placed with Fujitsu, as Fujitsu is
the only company authorised by BAES to supply DA/SDR approved equipment and
spares support to assure the validity of the design and use criteria detailed in the
Declaration of Design and Performance, DDP, which covers the safety and
airworthiness of the product and therefore the platform.In addition, Fujitsu are the
Manufacturer and Supplier of the hardware used at UK Main Operating Bases, MOBs
and therefore are the only party with the required Subject Matter Experts, SMEs able to
sustain integrity of the systems. Furthermore Fujitsu is the only supplier possessing the
specific know-how required to support the equipment and provide airworthiness and
safety with a through-life support contract, with spares and specific knowledgeable
engineers.
