Why this procedure was chosen
Babcock Land Defence Limited, acting as Agent to the UK Ministry of Defence, has negotiated a single source contract with Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) for the Repair of the Challenger 2 Commanders Sighting System. Justification For Non-Competitive Decision: It is considered this requirement can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Article 25(1)(a) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1)(a)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) due to the absence of suitable tenders in response to the previous restricted procedure reference 2017/S 225-469815. The UK Ministry of Defence received a single tender response and that tender was evaluated as being technically compliant.
