Legal Justification

It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Article 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Authority requires these rifles as partial replacement for the current in-service fleet of 1827F Biathlon Rifles for use in the Army’s “Winter Games” competition. The Authority is unable to accommodate weapons from an alternative supplier as this would result in goods being supplied which would have different technical characteristics to those already in service, effecting the interoperability of the rifles. This would result in technical difficulties with incompatibility between existing and new weapons and accessories. KCSR Limited is the exclusive UK distributor for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the 1827F Biathlon Rifle. In these circumstances the Authority considers that competition is absent for technical reasons
