Mobile field bridges Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated

FMI wishes to enter into a contract with KNDS UK (formally WFEL Ltd) (‘KNDS’) for the supply of two mechanically laid field bridges, spare parts and training worth GBP 42 737 947. It is FMI's assessment that the field bridges can currently only be purchased from KNDS, which is due in particular to the operational requirements for a MLC (Military Load Classification) of 80(t)/120(W) as well as a bridge length of either 2 * 40 meters or 1 * 80 meters, which has been made by NATO, including the operational requirement that the field bridge must be mechanically laid. It is considered that there is no reasonable alternative and that the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial restriction of competition. In the light of the above, FMI considers that the conditions laid down in Article 28(1)(e) of the Defence and Security Directive for using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice are met. The contract will not be concluded before the expiry of 10 calendar days with effect from the day following the date of publication of this notice.
