IV.1)
Type of procedure
IV.1.1)
Type of procedure
Negotiated without publication of a contract notice
Justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU):
Directive 2009/81/EC
1) Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the OJEU in accordance with Directive 2004/18/EC or 2004/17/EC respectively
All tenders submitted in reply to a restricted procedure, negotiated procedure with prior publication of a contract notice or competitive dialogue were irregular or inacceptable. Only those tenderers were included in the negotiations which have satisfied the qualitative selection criteria:
no
The periods for the restricted procedure and the negotiated procedure with prior publication of a contract notice are incompatible with the urgency resulting from a crisis:
no
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the relevant Directive:
no
The contract concerns research and development services other than those referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2009/81/EC:
no
The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the Directive:
no
[DAdditOrderedAnnexD3]:
yes
[DCommodityMarketAnnexD3]:
no
[DAdvantageousTermsAnnexD3]:
Contract related to the provision of air and maritime transport services for the armed forces of a Member State deployed or to be deployed abroad, under the strict conditions stated in the Directive:
no
Article 28 – 3 (a)
For supply contracts
For additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of normal supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority/entity to acquire material having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
Justification:
Each separate aircraft platform in the organisation presents a unique and significant supply chain and training (technical and operator) burden for this reason having two aircraft platforms procured from different suppliers is problematic and carries with it substantial risk as outlined below.
In the area of training, pilots, crew and maintenance personnel the technical differences between two different aircraft platforms would require extensive and disproportionate additional training and incompatibility issues that would have significant implications for operations.
It is essential to maintain a single aircraft type within this fleet category to avoid the significant risk arising from operator complication caused by a mixed fleet of aircraft.
The purchase of a C295W MTA from the original manufacturer will enable the seamless, safe and secure integration of Military Transport Aircraft with the existing fleet due to the technical compatibility with the C295W MPA.
