    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence (via DE&S Deca) seeks in-service support for Epoch 600 Ultrasonic Flaw Detector equipment used in aircraft non-destructive testing inspections. The contract covers calibration and ad-hoc repair services for a 1-year term with 2 optional extension years, commencing October 2026. The estimated contract value is £0.134M (inclusive of VAT). This is a direct award to Evident Europe GMBH, the original equipment manufacturer and design authority, who has provided specialist support for 11 years. The direct award is justified under the Procurement Act 2023 as changing suppliers would result in incompatible services and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, given that only Evident Europe GMBH has access to the necessary technical documentation, spare parts, specialized skills, and test equipment required to support this equipment.
