LONDON, April 25 -- The Government of UK issued details related to the following business opportunity:
Contracting Authority: Ministry of Defence
Industry: Aviation ground support software development services
Description: This is a Voluntary Transparency Notice: The C2 Targeting Navigations and Communications Team (C2TNC DT), part of the Ministry of Defence ("the Authority"), intends to enter into a one-year option contract extension with DXC for the Advanced Mission Planning Aid (AMPA) ("the Contract"). The AMPA In-Service Support (ISS) contract provides Design Organisation support and Post Design Services for the 3 variants which because of their commonality realises an economy of scale benefit. Due to mission data generated by AMPA being referenced when airborne, the system is deemed to impact air safety and the supplier, DXC Technology, is required to be accredited by the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) as a Design Organisation (DO). It is not believed that any other MoD MPS provider currently holds this certification. The original AMPA ISS included 2+1-year support for Hawk TMk1 and Typhoon so providing cover until 31 Mar 2025, but the delays and continuing uncertainty require this is extended to 2+2 years which will align with the end of the current contract which is 31 March 2026. A change of supplier is not practical as it would introduce significant technical and assurance issues for a mission critical capability affecting air safety without offering any performance, time, cost, or operational benefit. The Authority has determined that this is Single source contract is excluded from DSPCR under Regulation 6(3A) (b) of the DSPR 2011.
