    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence intends to award a direct contract to L3 Harris MAPPS Ltd for providing in-service support (ISS) to Platform Management Systems (PMS) across the Royal Navy fleet. The contract covers PMS equipment on eight T26 frigates, five T31 frigates, and two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, with a total estimated value of £153 million excluding VAT. The eight-year contract includes two optional one-year extensions. This is a single-supplier direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 because L3 Harris MAPPS Ltd is the original equipment manufacturer and design authority for the PMS, possessing exclusive technical expertise in system design, configuration, defect rectification, capability evolution, and obsolescence management. No alternative suppliers can provide compatible services without creating technical incompatibilities and operational difficulties. The contract will be awarded to a non-excluded supplier, with a Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice to follow.
