Technical requirements: The Defence Information Services Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to extend for 12 months an existing contract with Risk Decisions Ltd for Predict maintenance and support. The value of the contract extension is 121 211,86 GBP. It is considered that this contract amendment can be made using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication pursuant to Article 32 (2) (b) (2) of Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015) for Technical reasons. Risk Decisions Ltd has background knowledge that is essential for the proper support of the Predict system.

As such, only Risk Decisions Ltd has the required detailed specialist knowledge regarding the Predict system, to perform this requirement.
Suppliers interested in working with the Ministry of Defence should register on the MOD Supplier Information Database (SID) Register, available at www.contracts.mod.uk The MOD SID is a database of active and potential suppliers available to all MOD and UK Defence procurement personnel, and is the main supplier database of MOD Procurement organisations. Please note the registration and publication of a company profile on the MOD SID does not mean or imply that the supplier has in any way been vetted or approved by the MOD. Suppliers wishing to compete for advertised MOD contracts must respond to any specific call for competition by submitting a separate expression of interest in accordance with the instructions of the purchasing organisation.
From 2.4.2014, the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications Policy (GSC) to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme. A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All suppliers to the Department are encouraged to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement. The link below to the http://gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC.
The Authority reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy. If any contract documents are accompanied by instructions on safeguarding classified information (e.g. a Security Aspects Letter), the Authority reserves the right to amend the terms of these instructions to reflect any changes in national law or government policy, whether in respect of the applicable protective marking scheme, specific protective markings given, the aspects to which any protective marking applies or otherwise.
