Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
This contract is to be awarded as a single source for technical reasons. It is considered that this Contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the EU Defence and security Public Contract Regulations 2011) for technical reasons. LFD are the original equipment manufacturers of the Anti-Collision Lamps, Brightstar Lamps and Brightstar Control Boxes used on UK operated military rotary wing platforms and the appointed Platform Design Organisation (DO) for this equipment is in accordance with Regulatory Article 5101 Design Approved Organisation Scheme (DAOS) approval procedures and responsibilities. The Authority believes that the provision of spares, repair and modification of anti-collision lamps, Brightstar Lamps and Brightstar Control Boxes applicable to UK operated military rotary wing platforms can only be carried out by LFD. This is because they hold relevant skills, technical data, drawing and design information, and are not prepared to share or licence the use of that information outside of LFD. The aforementioned skills, technical data, drawing and design information are necessary for the performance of those activities which will be carried out by LFD. It is not possible for another company to obtain the relevant level of certification without access to the skills, knowledge and technical information that only LFD hold.
