Technical requirements: Provision of hardware and associated installation and commissioning services for new Operational Command and Control (OCC) Cortex system.
In October 2018 West Mercia Police served notice on Warwickshire Police to end the strategic alliance between the two forces. This led to a protracted period of discussion and negotiation before split of the Alliance was confirmed in 2019.
Prior to the Alliance separation, the OCC systems were due to be replaced by a new single system. However following the unexpected termination of the Alliance, a change in the replacement plans meant that the Warwickshire OCC was reliant on core applications that were in a fragile state and required replacing as matter of urgency. Following an in-depth phase of discovery and options analysis in late 2019, an urgent need to complete a migration of the Warwickshire OCC services from a non-compliant shared network to a separate, secure and PSN compliant network by 31 August 2020 was identified.
From a commercial perspective, this was necessary to avoid a circa GBP 1 million cost for service management and circuit lease of the existing network contract extension for an additional year.
From an operational perspective, this was necessary to avoid both the risk of losing PSN certification by remaining on a non compliant network post 31 August 2020 and continuation of a fragile, low resilience OCC service post this date.
Following technical discovery, the only viable option was to utilise the incumbent cortex provider (APD). Ensuring access to the specialist knowledge and experience of existing infrastructure and the necessary upgrade and migration activities to meet the deadline of 31 August 2020. As such a direct award was made to APD to deliver the necessary Cortex upgrade.

Estimated value: 4376913.84 GBP

Technical requirements: Design, supply and maintenance of a medium scale vial filling system at the VMIC Facility, Harwell, Oxfordshire including vial handling and unwrapping, filling, stoppering and oversealing operations, along with automated inspection and vial offloading operations.
VMIC are reacting to a current situation that is a genuine emergency, by provision of a second vial filling line to allow it to produce 70 million doses of the vaccine to cover the pandemic in 2021. This equipment which has a long delivery period needs to be accelerated rapidly to achieve the government target. It is practically identical to the existing Filling Line and will provide improved resilience.
The Covid-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something VMIC should have predicted and have changed the timescales of the project significantly.
There is no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation; due to the equipment lead time which will not meet the accelerated project programme to enable vaccine production within the required timeline. As a result, procurement of GMP equipment needs to take place in June 2020 for equipment arrival June 2021 Additionally development work has been completed on a particular suppliers equipment and there is no time in the programme to complete development work on other suppliers equipment.
VMIC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency. This is due to the accelerated programme as a result of the requirement from the UK government to provide vaccine manufacturing capability in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Technical requirements: Additional equipment for X2 200L equipment train for a medium filling line for the production of vaccines.
VMIC are reacting to a current situation that is a genuine emergency, by creating ‘Virtual VMIC’ to manufacture 40 million doses of the vaccine to cover the pandemic in 2020. To do this equipment procurement needs to be accelerated rapidly to achieve the government target.
The Covid-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something VMIC should have predicted and have changed the timescales of the project significantly.
The purchase relates to the existing Filling Line Order (2020/S 071-169988) and covers a Design Change Notice (DCN) relating to essential variations required both for quality assurance and production purposes.
The situation is not attributable to VMIC on the basis that the requirement to meet the Covid-19 output requirement and specific process and quality issues was not defined when the line was ordered in January 2020 prior to the advent of Covid-19 pandemic threat.
VMIC have not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency. This is due to the accelerated programme as a result of the requirement from the UK government to provide vaccine manufacturing capability in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
