Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
This direct award relies upon the justification at paragraph 5 of schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 due to Caterpillar Shrewsbury Ltd being the original equipment designer and manufacturer of the CV12 engines, and are the only Contractor licenced by Allsion Transmissions to undertake remanufacturer of the X200 transmission and are the only supplier that can supply the services required. Furthermore paragraph 6 of schedule 5 is relied upon due to there being an absence of competition as Caterpillar Shrewsbury Ltd possess the technical drawings and test specifications necessary to perform the requirement without introducing an unacceptable level of risk to operational safety and MOD operational requirements. No other reasonable suppliers are available because the information is confidential to Caterpillar Shrewsbury Ltd and they will not share the technical know-how with any third party.
