Section II: Object of the subcontract

II.1)Description
II.1.1)Title attributed to the contract:
Support, Repair, Calibration and Maintenance of the RAF General Purpose Automatic Test System (GPATS), Teradyne Spectrum S9100 and Software Support for LASAR Digital Simulation Software.
II.1.2)Type of contract and location of works:
Services
Service category No 1: Maintenance and repair services
II.1.3)Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
Repair, maintenance and associated services related to aircraft and other equipment. The initial procurement of the RAF GPATS Teradyne S9100 test system was in 2000 and has been deployed across the UK ever since. It is proposed that a 2 year contract extension be placed to ensure Support, Repair, Calibration and Maintenance of the RAF GPATS Teradyne Spectrum S9100 ATE and the Software Support for Teradyne LASAR.
Support, Repair and Calibration is required wherever the GPATS are deployed within the UK to maintain an agreed level of availability of the test system to users. Maintenance includes provision of spares, obsolescence management, and participation in configuration management issues, administration and attendance of regular user group meetings.
LASAR Software Support is for Full Service Agreement (FSA).
The Design Authority for the S9100 GPATS hardware and software and also LASAR software is vested in Teradyne Ltd who has experience and the necessary expertise and facilities to provide the level of work and services required. There have been no issues experienced with Teradyne in the past and due to them owning the design rights it is considered unsuitable for competitive tender as the complexity of running a competition, identifying a suitable contracting period over which benefits could be delivered, wrestling design rights and formally letting a contract would be unlikely to be completed before the current contractual arrangements lapse.
