Justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a call for
competition in the Official Journal of the European Union
1.Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without publication of a call for competition in accordance with
Article 28 of Directive 2009/81/EU

No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to:
restricted procedure

3.Explanation
Please explain in a clear and comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union
is lawful, by stating the relevant facts and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the directive:
Babcock DSG Ltd, acting as the UK Ministry of Defence’s agent, intends to negotiate a single source contract with Smith and Jewell T/A SJ Engineering Specialists Limited for the repair of the recovery systems fitted to the CRARRV and Warrior platforms.
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 420701-2015. In respect of the previous restricted procedure LSBU/0196, the UK Ministry of Defence evaluated the only bidder which was technically compliant, Smith and Jewell T/A SJ Engineering Specialists Limited, but the financial submission was deemed to be unacceptable to the UK Ministry of Defence.
