The contract will be a for a period of 2 years with the provision for 2 x 1 option years and have a value up to £4,950,000.00.\nIn making this direct award the Authority relies upon the justification at paragraph 5 of schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 due to Hutchinson (UK) Limited being the original equipment designer and manufacturer of the inserts for the run-flats. \nFurthermore, the Authority relies upon paragraph 6 of schedule 5 due to an absence of competition as the information relating to the goods and services is proprietary to Hutchinson (UK) Limited and Hutchison (UK) Limited is not willing to share the technical know-how with any third party. There are no reasonable alternatives to the goods and services because it would introduce an unacceptable level of risk to operational safety and MOD operational requirements. \nThe Authority also relies upon paragraph 7 of schedule 5 to the procurement Act 2023 as a change in supplier from Hutchinson (UK) Limited would result in the MOD receiving goods and services that are different from the existing goods or services. The difference would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance as it would introduce an unacceptable level of risk to operational safety and MOD operational requirements. \nThis notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not \napply to be invited to tender.
