It is considered that the contract has been awarded to Van Kappel Ltd using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons as Van Kappel Ltd are the only supplier with the specific know-how, STTE and ownership of the bespoke OEM designed APU Test Set and associated tooling. The UK Ministry of Defence is not in a position to be able to identify the exact technical requirements which are required to ensure the safety and suitability of the repairs, and that the interoperability of the Auxiliary Power Units with the platform is not compromised to be able to provide the equipment support services required by the UK Ministry of Defence. The Authority reserve the right to add further items of a similar nature to the contract post award.
