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
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
absence of competition for technical reasons

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:
BAE Systems are both the ‘Design Organisation’ & the ‘Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)’ for the aircraft platform and have been the Prime Contractor for In-Service Support for Hawk T1 aircraft for over forty years and it has been previously identified under Defence and Security Public Regulations (DSPCR) Regulation 16 as a single source requirement.
Market examination shows that the market place has not changed and there are no competitors to BAE Systems with the capability or experience to take on this contract for Hawk In-Service Support and be able to provide the full service from day one. Consequently the contract extension is to be awarded without competition, in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) Defence & Security Public Contracts Regulations; Article 28(1)(e) Directive 2009/81/EC.
