Esboniad:
This VTN is for an in-service support contract for the Formal platform. Formal is a Mini RCV. This contract consists of servicing and maintenance including an ad-hoc tasking mechanism. Formal has been in service since 2014 and supported by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (QinetiQ Ltd) since.
The Special Projects Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Search (SPEOD&S) team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), intends to award an in-service support (ISS) contract to QinetiQ for up to 7 years for technical support, maintenance and repair of the Dragon Runner 20 (DR20) mini Remote Controlled Vehicle (mRCV), used on Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations. This contract will be 3.5-year fixed and then include 3 options totalling to 3.5 years of 1 x 24 months 1 x 12 months 1 x 6 months. This contract is anticipated for placement prior to 31 December 2020.
It is considered that this contract can be awarded to QinetiQ using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 28 (1) (e) of the Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16 (1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) for technical reasons. This is because QinetiQ is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the DR20 and as such is the only supplier to have access to the specific technical knowledge, drawings and information required to deliver support and repair to this capability.
QinetiQ have in-depth knowledge of the system and conduct regular in-depth repair which forms an essential part of the safety argument for the equipment. A DSP-5 license has been filed and approved with the US State Department, allowing QinetiQ North America (QNA) to submit technical data surrounding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing & Radio Frequency (RF) performance to QinetiQ UK for the UK MoD only. These commodities are authorised by the US Government for licenced end use by the UK MoD Only. The DSP-5 licence prevents the reselling, diversion or transfer of this technical information to any other persons or suppliers. This technical data forms parts of the Safety Argument for the UK DR20 system and as such cannot be provided to any third party for purposes of tender.
QinetiQ hold extensive technical knowledge which is required to maintain and service the mRCV safely. Articles required for the repair and maintenance of the system are not licenced to be provided to third parties. Another contractor would only be able to meet this requirement with access to all the relevant documentation which is currently held by QinetiQ and which QinetiQ have no contractual obligation to provide. Reverse engineering by another contractor would be impractical and result in a huge upfront investment prior to the bidding stage. There are also technical limitations on this in that given the age of the system it would be difficult to obtain specifications on many of the components are they will now be obsolete.
