Single supplier - technical reasons
DE&S Deca, on behalf of the Air Commodities Delivery Team and part of the UK Ministry of Defence (The Authority) Intends to Direct award a contract to Intepro Systems UK to provide In service Support (ISS) to the PSUATE equipment, which supports the UK Ministry of Defence's Air Defence capabilities. The contract is for 1 year plus 2 option years estimated to start February 2026. The contract is for continuous support, Maintenance and Repair of the current Inservice capability of PSUATE. The Contract has a proposed Value of £0.652M (Inclusive of VAT)
The authority considers that the direct award of this non-competitive contract falls within the circumstances set out in the Procurement Act 2023 Sch. 5, Para. 6(a)(b):
6. The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-
a) Due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods service or works required, and
b) There are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.
This is because Intepro Systems UK is the OEM of and design authority and have supported and maintained the equipment for approximately 30 years and have the specialist skills, experience, knowledge and test equipment to continue with the support. No other contractor has access to the technical knowledge, documents, skills and test equipment necessary to fulfil this requirement, therefore only Intepro Systems UK can provide the services required.
