Legal Justification

It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because in order to carry out the requirements of this contract access is required to a fully accredited TP400 Engine Uninstalled Test Facility, which is a unique item of infrastructure designed specifically to meet the needs of the TP400 Engine Pass Off Test requirements. These unique TP400 engine Turn Over Stands are necessary to carry out engine repairs and a Maintenance Level 2 Repair Facility for the TP400 engine which is certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Only Rolls Royce PLC have the required TP400 Engine Uninstalled Test Facility, unique TP400 engine Turn Over Stands, EASA certified Maintenance Level 2 Repair Facility and the associated technical know-how necessary to provide the in-service support services at Maintenance Level 2 for the TP400 Engine.
