 WHEREAS: 

 

	(A)	The Department published its Contract Notice (2011/S 233-377518) for the supply of the UK Search and Rescue Helicopter Services in the Official Journal of the European
Union on 28 November 2011. 

  

	(B)	Under the competitive dialogue procedure, the Contractor submitted its PQQ, ISOP and Revised Proposals. 

 

	(C)	The Department closed the Competitive Dialogue and issued an Invitation to Submit Final Tender to the Contractor on 21 December 2012. 

 

	(D)	The Contractor issued its Final Tender to the Department for the supply of the UK Search and Rescue Helicopter Services on 17 January 2013 which the Department has

	1.1	In this Contract, unless the context requires otherwise, the definitions set out in Schedule 1 (Definitions) shall apply. 

 

	1.2	Unless the context requires otherwise, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and words expressed in any gender shall include any other gender.

  

	1.3	The headings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Contract. 

 

	1.4	Save where express provision is made to the contrary, any reference to a statute, statutory provision or subordinate legislation shall be construed as a reference to
that legislation, as amended and in force from time to time, including any re-enactment, consolidation or replacement (with or without modification). In the case of a statute or statutory provision, the reference shall also be construed as a
reference to all subordinate legislation made under such statute or statutory provision. 

  

	1.5	Reference to a Condition is a reference to the whole of that Condition unless stated otherwise. 

 

	1.6	Reference to any person shall include natural persons and partnerships, firms and other incorporated bodies and all other legal persons of whatever kind and however

	2.	Duration of this Contract

a Base. 

  

	2.2	The Department may extend the duration of this Contract for any period and for any combination of Bases for up to a further twenty four (24) Months from any Expiry

	2.3	The Planned Operational Delivery Date and the Expiry Date for each Base are set out in Schedule 2.5 (Transition and Acceptance). 

 

	3.	Contractor’s Performance 

  

	3.1	The Contractor shall supply the Services during the Term in accordance with the Contract and all its Schedules and with the Department’s requirements as set out in

Premises during normal business hours on reasonable notice. 

  

	3.2	If the Department informs the Contractor in writing that the Department reasonably believes that any part of the Services does not meet the requirements of the Contract
or differ in any way from those requirements, and this is other than as a result of a Default or negligence on the part of the Department, the Contractor shall at its own expense re-schedule and carry out the Services in accordance with the
requirements of this Contract within such reasonable time as may be specified by the Department.

Department. The Contractor shall supervise and manage all such personnel properly. If the Department gives the Contractor notice that any person is to be removed from involvement in the Services, the Contractor shall take immediate steps to comply
with that notice. The decision of the Department regarding the Contractor’s personnel shall be final and conclusive. 

  

	3.5	The Contractor shall: 

  

	 	(a)	give the Department, if so requested, the name, role and details of relevant work experience of all persons who are or may be at any time employed on this Contract; and

  

	 	(b)	comply, and shall procure that its employees and Sub-contractors comply, with any rules, regulations and any safety and security instructions notified by the Department
to the Contractor in writing, including completion of any additional security clearance procedures required by the Department, and return of any passes required. 

  
 Page 9 of 50

	3.6	The Contractor shall take all reasonable steps to avoid changes to the Key Personnel, and shall make no changes to Key Personnel within the first twenty-four
(24) Months of the Award Date. The Contractor shall give at least one (1) Month’s notice to the Contract Manager of any proposal to remove or replace Key Personnel and the Department must agree any replacement in writing, save that
the Contractor shall be required to give such notice as is reasonable in the circumstances in the event that Key Personnel are changed as a result of illness, resignation or unusual personal circumstances. 

 

	3.7	Unless otherwise agreed by the Department, neither the Contractor nor any of his employees or Sub-contractors shall carry out any business or trading activity within or
on the Premises and no advertisement, sign or notice of any description shall be exhibited without prior written approval from the Department. 

  

	3.8	The Contractor shall exercise due care and propriety when dealing with third parties in connection with this Contract and ensure that no commitments that might impose
any obligations on the Department are entered into (unless expressly required under this Contract) without the Department’s prior written consent. 

  

	3.9	The Contractor warrants, represents and undertakes for the duration of the Term that neither the Contractor nor any of its Staff, officers or other persons associated
with it: 

  

	 	(a)	has been convicted of any offence involving bribery or corruption; 

  

	 	(b)	to the best of its knowledge, has been or is the subject of any investigation, inquiry or enforcement proceedings by any governmental, administrative or regulatory body
regarding any offence or alleged offence under the Bribery Act 2010; or 

  

	 	(c)	has been or is listed by any government agency as being debarred, suspended, proposed for suspension or debarment, or otherwise ineligible for participation in
government procurement programmes or other government contracts. 

  

	3.10	At all times during the Term the Contractor shall be an independent contractor and nothing in the Contract shall create a contract of employment, a relationship of
agency or partnership or a joint venture between the Parties and accordingly neither Party shall be authorised to act in the name of, or on behalf of, or otherwise bind the other Party save as expressly permitted by the terms of the Contract.

  

	4.	Duty of Care 

  

	4.1	The Contractor shall perform the Services with the standard of skill, care and diligence which a competent and suitably qualified person performing such services could
reasonably be expected to exercise and in accordance with all relevant statutory requirements. 

  

	5.	Conflict of Interest 

  

	5.1	The Contractor shall take appropriate steps to ensure that neither the Contractor nor any Staff is placed in a position where, in the reasonable opinion of the
Department, there is or may be an actual conflict, or a potential conflict, between the pecuniary or personal interests of the Contractor and the duties owed to the Department under the provisions of this Contract. The Contractor will disclose to
the Department full particulars of any such conflict of interest which may arise. 

  
 Page 10 of 50

	5.2	The Department reserves the right to terminate this Contract immediately by notice in writing and/or to take such other steps it deems necessary where, in the
reasonable opinion of the Department, there is or may be an actual conflict, or a potential conflict, between the pecuniary or personal interests of the Contractor and the duties owed to the Department under the provisions of this Contract. The

	 	(b)	sending it to the Contractor’s Representative by first-class post, when it shall be deemed served on the second Working Day after posting; or

  

	 	(c)	delivery to the Contract Manager, when it shall be deemed served at the time of delivery, or 

 

	 	(d)	sending it to the Contract Manager by first-class post, when it shall be deemed served on the second Working Day after posting. 

 

	7.	Department’s Obligations 

  

	7.1	Save as otherwise expressly provided, the obligations of the Department under this Contract are obligations of the Department in its capacity as a contracting
counterparty and nothing in this Contract shall operate as an obligation upon, or in any other way fetter or constrain the Department in any other capacity, nor shall the exercise by the Department of its duties and powers in any other capacity lead
to any liability under the Contract (howsoever arising) on the part of the Department to the Contractor. 

  

	8.	Inspection

	8.2	Where the Services are being performed on any other premises, the Contract Manager and the Department, or an auditor acting on behalf of the Contract Manager, shall, on
giving reasonable notice to the Contractor, be entitled to inspect and examine such Services. The right to inspect and examine the Services shall not apply to the extent that an inspection or examination would jeopardise the confidentiality of
information relating to the Contractor’s other clients. 

  

	8.3	The Contractor shall provide all facilities required by the Contract Manager and the Department, or an auditor acting on behalf of the Contract Manager, for any
inspection and examination free of charge.

 Page 11 of 50

	9.	Occupation of Department Premises 

  

	9.1	Any land or premises (including temporary buildings) made available to the Contractor by the Department in connection with this Contract (with exception to the
Lee-on-Solent Base which is the subject of a separate lease arrangement) (the “Premises”) shall be made available to the Contractor free of charge and shall be used by the Contractor solely for the purposes of performing this
Contract. The Contractor shall have the use of the Premises as licensee and shall vacate the same: 

  

	 	(a)	upon completion or determination of this Contract; or 

  

	 	(b)	subject to the Department giving twelve (12) Months written notice to the Contractor, at a date decided upon by the Department, whichever occurs first.

  

	9.2	The allocation of the responsibilities and costs associated with the Premises and other infrastructure items made available to the Contractor for the purposes of the

by the Contractor at the Premises shall be paid by the Contractor. 

  

	9.3	The Contractor shall not use the Premises for any purpose or activity other than the provisions of the Services unless given prior written approval by the Department.

  

	9.4	Should the Contractor require modifications to the Premises, such modifications shall be subject to prior approval and shall be carried out by the Department at the
Contractor’s expense. The Department shall undertake approved modification work without undue delay. Ownership of such modifications shall rest with the Department. 

 

	9.5	The Contractor shall limit access to the land or Premises to such Staff as is necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under the Contract and the Contractor
shall co-operate (and ensure that its Staff co-operate) with such other persons working concurrently on such land or Premises as the Department may reasonably request. 

 

	9.6	The Contractor shall (and shall ensure that its Staff shall) observe and comply with such rules and regulations as may be in force at any time for the use of such
Premises as determined by the Department, and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of making good any damage caused by the Contractor or its Staff other than fair wear and tear. For the avoidance of doubt, damage includes damage to the fabric of
the buildings, plant, fixed equipment or fittings therein.

that no such tenancy has or shall come into being and, notwithstanding any rights granted pursuant to the Contract, the Department retains the right at any time to use any premises owned or occupied by it in any manner it sees fit.

  

	9.8	Within seven (7) days of the Expiry Date or the termination of this Contract or the date decided upon by the Department pursuant to Condition 9.1(a), the

	9.9	Save as the Department may otherwise direct, the Contractor is deemed to have inspected the Premises before submitting its Tender and to have made appropriate enquiries
so as to be satisfied in relation to all matters connected with the performance of its obligations under the Contract.

liability for any loss or damage to that property or caused by that property except where any such loss or damage was caused or contributed to by any act, neglect or default of any servant of the Crown at the Premises acting in the course of his
employment. The Department shall accept liability only to the extent to which such loss or damage is so caused or contributed to. 

  

	12.	Facilities Provided 

  

	12.1	The Contractor is to be responsible for the proper use and reasonable care of facilities provided by the Department. 

 

	12.2	The Contractor shall ensure that services on the Premises are used with due regard for the need for the efficient use and conservation of supplies and the Department

requirements of this Contract. 

  

	42.16	If the Department does not approve the draft Step-Out Plan, the Department shall inform the Contractor of its reasons for not approving it. The Contractor shall then

unnecessarily. 

  

	42.17	The Contractor shall bear its own costs in connection with any step-in by the Department under this Condition 42, provided that the Department shall reimburse the

Default).

danger.

	56.5	Condition 56.2 shall: 

  

	 	(a)	not prevent the Department from claiming an indemnity from the Contractor or any Sub-contractor in respect of any claim by third parties (including employees of the

	1.	Introduction to Transition 

  

	1.1	The delivery of a high standard of service throughout the transition period and following handover of total responsibility is absolutely critical during the transition
from the current SAR provisions to the Contractor. The Transition Plan will provide the Department with the confidence that the Contractor’s approach is effective, realistic and achievable within the required and proposed timescales.

  

	1.2	The precise order of transition has been defined by the Department to assist in effectively managing the drawdown of existing MOD and MCA delivered service cover and
the introduction of new services. (See Table 2.3.4 below). This order takes into account the need to prioritise early withdrawal of the lesser capable and more difficult to support airframes in the MOD fleet, as well as the likely logistics
challenges for the Contractor, arising from transitioning. 

  

	1.3	The Contractor will be required to establish a rolling transition programme with a nominal 3 month periodicity between successive service commencement points, starting
in April 2015. In most instances, service commencement will occur simultaneously at pairs of Bases at a time, with a small and heavy requirement airframe in each pair. 

 

	1.4	The Contractor must demonstrate that it is fully prepared to assume operational responsibility and control, including the provision of fully capable SAR aircraft,
trained aircrew, support engineers and with fully functioning training/operating facilities in place, by the respective MOD or MCA base service withdrawal dates. 

 

	1.5	The UK SAR Service will be delivered from 10 Bases at or in the vicinity of the bases listed in Table 2.3.4. 

 

	2.	Transition into UK SAR 

  

	2.1	MOD 

  

	2.1.1	All SAR helicopter services delivered by MOD’s RAF and RN SAR Sea Kings will be withdrawn by March 2016. Transition of SAR service responsibilities to the UK SAR
Service must be complete by this time. 

  

	2.1.2	Delivery of UK SAR Service will originate from Bases at or in the vicinity of seven of the existing eight MOD sites. There will be no requirement to assume
responsibility for delivery of SAR service from the existing RAF Boulmer site, following the planned cessation of the current service in September 2015. 

  

	2.2	MCA 

  

	2.2.1	The contract for SAR service provision from the four MCA bases situated in the UK expires in early 2017. 

 

	2.2.2	Delivery of UK SAR Service will occur from Bases at or in the vicinity of three of the existing four MCA sites. There will be no requirement to assume responsibility
for delivery of SAR service from the existing MCA Portland site, following the planned cessation of the current service in June 2017. 

  

	2.3	UK SAR Service – Lots 

  

	2.3.1	 As a reflection of the variation on service demand across the UK SAR region, the UK SAR Service may be delivered through a combination of differing
minimum aircraft capability 

  
 Page 4 of 12

	 	
operating from specific base locations. The allocation of Lots across the UK SAR base locations is defined in Table 2.3.4. 

 

	2.3.2	Lot 1 capability will be delivered at or in the vicinity of: Sumburgh, Stornoway, Culdrose, Leconfield and Valley, using helicopters with a minimum rescue capacity per
aircraft of 8 casualties/survivors, 2 of which are capable of being stretchered and with a minimum radius of action of 200nm (250 nm at Stornoway) 

  

	2.3.3	Lot 2 capability will be delivered at or in the vicinity of: Lossiemouth, Wattisham, Chivenor, Prestwick and from Lee-on-Solent, using helicopters with a minimum rescue
capacity per aircraft of 4 casualties/survivors, 2 of which are capable of being stretchered and with a minimum radius of action of 170nm. 

  

	2.3.4	Lot 3 is a combined Lot 1 and Lot 2 capability, featuring all 10 base locations and their respective helicopter capacity and range as defined in Lot 1 and Lot 2 above.

	3.	Acceptance 

  

	3.1	Introduction to Acceptance 

  

	3.1.1	The aim of the UK SAR Service acceptance process is to ensure that the Service meets the requirements of the users throughout the life of the project.

  

	3.1.2	Following the Commencement Date, the Department will require the Contractor to demonstrate contractual compliance with the Department’s requirements prior to full
acceptance through the presentation of evidence or the demonstration of capability. The testing regime will need to demonstrate that the Contractor can meet all the requirements and deliver the specified levels of Service in accordance with the
Contract. The acceptance process will be carried out in accordance with the agreed approach contained within Schedule 6.2 (Acceptance Procedures). 

  
 Page 8 of 12

	3.2	Acceptance Process 

  

	3.2.1	Introduction to Process 

 The
Contractor’s Solution must contain an Acceptance Plan that details the Contractor’s approach to system acceptance. This shall address acceptance through two integrated packages of work. The first will be demonstration of requirements
compliance and the second, capability demonstration. 
  

	3.2.2	Requirements Compliance 

 To gain
system acceptance, the Contractor shall demonstrate, through the presentation of appropriate evidence, full compliance of all contracted requirements. The Contractor’s Solution must explain the process the Contractor will employ to demonstrate
compliance. The Department would typically expect to inspect aspects of the contractor’s solution to support the contractor’s claims of contractual compliance or verify compliance through the review of supporting certification
documentation or reviewing the performance of aspects of the airborne system against OEM documentation. 
  

	3.3	The Contractor should detail in the appropriate column in Schedule 4.1, The Contractor’s Solution, the ‘Acceptance Approach’ which enables the Department
to verify contractual compliance. The Contractor will have completed the column by describing its approach to acceptance in terms of: 

  

	 	(a)	a demonstration 

  

	 	(b)	an inspection; 

  

	 	(c)	an assessment; and/or 

  

	 	(d)	a review 

  

	3.4	The Department views the approach to user acceptance as a progressive activity which will take place over a period of time leading up to service commencement at any
given Base; it is the contractor’s responsibility to schedule acceptance testing that will collectively demonstrate full compliance against the technical matrix prior to service commencement at any given Base and enable the Department to
formally accept the service according to the procedures set down in Schedule 6.2. 

  

	3.5	Capability Demonstration 

  

	3.6	Prior to the Operational Delivery Date, The Contractor will be expected to perform a number of desktop and live flown demonstrations to demonstrate the complete service
and the contractor’s capability and measured against the relevant KPIs. The scenarios for these demonstrations may include (but not be limited to) rescue scenarios for: 

 

	 	(a)	reach; 

  

	 	(b)	surge; 

  

	 	(c)	concurrency; 

  

	 	(d)	rapid response; 

  

	 	(e)	visual search; 

  
 Page 9 of 12

	 	(f)	multiple rescue 

  

	 	(g)	over water 

  

	 	(h)	reduced visibility; and 

  

	 	(i)	overland/mountainous terrain. 

  

	3.7	The scenarios will be developed to test certain capabilities and will be linked back to individual requirements. It is anticipated that initial acceptance
demonstrations, in realistic or simulated weather conditions, will be performed before service commencement at the first site using UK SAR aircrew (as opposed to dedicated test personnel). 

 

	3.7.1	The Contractor will be responsible for planning and conducting all demonstration activity. Each scenario will be observed by a Department representative(s). All
demonstration scenarios shall be undertaken at no additional costs to the Department. 

  

	3.7.2	In addition to the demonstration scenarios, the Department and/or its representatives will perform a ‘Base audit’ to ensure that all other aspects of the
Service are being delivered. This will include, but is not limited to:- 

  

	 	(a)	Aircrew training records; 

  

	 	(b)	engineering practices; 

  

	 	(c)	Base processes & procedures and how the central company discharges its responsibilities; 

 

	 	(d)	local safety procedures and hazard analysis; 

  

	 	(e)	Base governance & information and how the central company discharges its responsibilities; 

 

	 	(f)	equipment check against the contract on and off the aircraft; and 

  

	 	(g)	infrastructure and accommodation. 

Approval will need to be given by the Department and/or their representatives at each Base, prior to the commencement of the service.

  

	3.8	Capability Integration and Interoperability 

  

	3.8.1	All scenario demonstrations will be designed to reflect the real life environment wherever possible. Demonstrations will be structured such that each sub-system is
tested with its parent system and controlled by the relevant management system. 

  

	3.8.2	Once the tasking message has been received, the Contractor shall be expected to respond to the SAR scenario as if it were for real. The exception to this is that
training limits and safety shall not be compromised. 

  

	3.9	Through Life Verification 

  

	3.9.1	Regardless of the pronouncement of “acceptance” of the service, it should be noted that it is a core obligation of the Contractor to deliver the Services
throughout the Term in accordance with the Contract, in particular Schedule 2 (Requirements) and Schedule 4 (Contractor’s Solution). 

  
 Page 10 of 12

	3.9.2	The Department will undertake continued verification of Contractor’s performance and customer satisfaction, through the monitoring of the projects agreed key
performance indicators and the Contractor’s quality assurance system This is to ensure that Service Levels are maintained in accordance with the contract throughout the life of the UK SAR Service. 

 

	3.9.3	The Department will expect to apply the same acceptance procedure to any modifications throughout the life of the contract. 

 

	3.10	Acceptance Plan 

  

	3.10.1	The Contractor’s Solution must contain an agreed Acceptance Plan at Schedule 6.2 (Acceptance Procedures). 

 

	3.10.2	The Acceptance Plan must give the Department the confidence that activity is realistic and achievable within the required and proposed timescales.

  

	3.10.3	The Acceptance Plan should detail all of the following points, although the list is not exhaustive: 

 

	 	(a)	methodology of commissioning approach; 

  

	 	(b)	detail of proposed method of capturing and presentation of evidence to demonstrate compliance with every contracted requirement; 

 

	 	(c)	detail of proposed capability demonstration scenarios and their linkage to demonstrate of system requirements; 

 

	 	(d)	acceptance schedule including sufficient detail of key commissioning dates, events and locations; 

 

	 	(e)	explanation of how the commissioning tests addresses the Contractor’s highest technical risks; 

 

	 	(f)	proposed method of sentencing and management of non-conformance; and 

  

	 	(g)	the development of the safety case for airborne system and obtaining operators certificate for SAR operation. 

 

	3.10.4	An example of a scenario for use in demonstration of capability would be: 

  

	 	(a)	Scramble Message 

 Aircraft is
scrambled by the appropriate tasking Department. At Time T, a Mayday call was received from a fishing vessel. 
 “Vessel X
at estimated position Y, 5 persons on board, on fire and sinking. Request assistance.” 
 No further communications with
the boat available and no Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) detected. 
  

	 	(b)	Scenario 

 For the purposes of
demonstration, a fishing vessel sized boat should be positioned around 2 miles displaced from the position given. As the aircraft arrives on scene, 3 persons should evacuate the vessel into a life raft. These casualties will be suffering

  
 Page 11 of 12

 
from hypothermia and shock. The casualties remaining on the vessel will both be suffering from burns; one will have a broken femur. During winching, the primary winch becomes unserviceable and
the secondary winch must be used. 
  

	 	(c)	Anticipated SAR Details 

 The
crew receives the scramble message and all relevant personnel are alerted. Coastguard pump should be taken. Doctor may be taken. Mission plan generated and communicated. Crew scrambles. Take off on task within 15/45 minutes. Communication
established with Coastguard, Air Rescue Co-ordination Centre (ARCC) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) (if required). Navigation systems used to assist flight at Vmax to search datum (last known position). GPS controlled radar/FLIR/visual search
conducted. Once on scene, message is given that fire appears to have gone out but boat is close to sinking. Winchman assesses situation and elects not to receive pump owing to nature of casualties. 2 x boat casualties recovered first; one in
stretcher, one double strop. 3 x lift raft casualties recovered to aircraft. Immediate transfer to secondary winch when primary fails. Appropriate Intermediate Emergency Care (IEC) administered to all casualties en route to simulated hospital.

	1.	Introduction 

  

	1.1	This Schedule 2.6 (Aviation Safety Management Plan Requirements) describes the Department’s requirements for the Aviation Safety Management Plan, which will form
part of the Contractor’s Solution. 

  

	2.	Aviation Safety Management Plan 

  

	2.1	The Contractor’s Solution must include a Safety Management Plan which adequately addresses the following Department requirements: 

 

	2.1.1	The Department is committed and ultimately responsible for providing a safe and healthy working environment and culture. Furthermore, the continued airworthiness of the
UK SAR Service is of paramount importance to achieving the Department’s safety targets, as is compliance with current and future legislation. The Contractor’s Safety Management Plan in this regard is crucial to provide the Department with
confidence that the Safety Management Plan is realistic, deliverable and will meet the required safety targets. 

  

	2.1.2	The Safety Management Plan should document the Contractor’s safety management system throughout the UK SAR lifecycle (it is expected that the Safety Management
Plan will contain progressively less detail on the later stages of the lifecycle). The Contractor must provide a Safety Management Plan which, as a minimum, includes: 

 

	 	(a)	an outline description of the UK SAR Service and equipment, defining its purpose and capability; 

 

	 	(b)	the safety management system, including resources, responsibilities, organisational structure, interfaces within the Contractor’s organisation and with other
organisations involved in the UK SAR Service; 

  

	 	(c)	safety requirements, relevant legislation and relevant regulations; 

  

	 	(d)	defined safety tasks, including ownership, methodology, resource requirements and milestones; 

 

	 	(e)	tools to be utilised; 

  

	 	(f)	safety programme; 

  

	 	(g)	safety audit plan; 

  

	 	(h)	safety deliverables; and 

  

	 	(i)	in-service safety management, paying particular attention to how in-service safety-related incidents and accidents will be reported, monitored, assessed, managed, etc.
In particular, the re-assessment of risk and, as necessary, re-assessment of the acceptability of service safety in the light of incidents and accidents should be described. 

 

	2.2	The Safety Management Plan should contain a detailed method statement setting out how the Contractor will implement the Safety Management Plan. For civilian
registration, the Contractor is required to: 

  
 Page 4 of 6

	2.2.1	Submit a safety strategy indicating how they are intending to obtain EASA type certification and demonstrate the safety of the proposed UK SAR Service including, but
not necessarily limited to, the safety of the SAR equipment, maintenance of that equipment, operation of that equipment and training for operation of that equipment. In particular, the Contractor must demonstrate how it intends to comply with the
requirements of EASA CS 29.1309. The Contractor’s Solution may include examples of previously written relevant documentation to support their Safety Management Plan; 

 

	2.2.2	Target probability of death or loss of the Aircraft due to all causes, including but not limited to operational causes, technical equipment failure and human error is
10-6 per flight hour. This target is considered consistent with the requirements of EASA CS 29.1309. The Contractor must state how it intends to address this target, in particular to: 

 

	 	(a)	state broadly what level of safety it believes it can achieve (in terms of probability of death or loss of Aircraft per flight hour), together with supporting arguments
and evidence; 

  

	 	(b)	state how it intends to more accurately predict the safety of the Contractor’s Solution (in terms of probability of death or loss of aircraft per flight hour)
prior to Operational Delivery Date; and 

  

	 	(c)	state how they will adjust the prediction after the Operational Delivery Date and thereafter in the light of in-service incidents, accidents, new data and information.

 Where the Contractor believes it may not be able to achieve the 10-6 target, the Contractor’s Solution may
state any plans for improving safety towards the 10-6 target; 
  

	2.2.3	Submit a method statement describing how they are intending to identify and analyse all SAR hazards and accidents (including all aspects of the proposed UK SAR Service,
including equipment, operation, maintenance, training, etc.). The Contractor may use various hazard and accident identification and analysis techniques such as, but not limited to: 

 

	 	(a)	FHA (Functional Hazard Assessment); 

  

	 	(b)	PSSA (Preliminary System Safety Assessment); 

  

	 	(c)	PHA (Preliminary Hazard Analysis); 

  

	 	(d)	FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis); 

  

	 	(e)	FTA (Fault Tree Analysis); 

  

	 	(f)	common-mode analysis; 

  

	 	(g)	zonal analysis; 

  

	 	(h)	HAZOPS Hazard and Operability Study; 

  

	 	(i)	OSHA Operating and Support Hazard Analysis; and 

  

	 	(j)	OHHA (Occupational Health Hazard Analysis). 

 Particular attention should be paid to the need to ensure that, as far as reasonably possible, all accidents, hazards and hazard causes are identified. Where the Contractor considers that such accident
and hazard identification and analysis has already been carried out, the Contractor 

  
 Page 5 of 6

	 	
shall supply evidence and describe how they intend to ensure that previous analyses are sufficient to cover the full scope of the UK SAR Service and/or how they intend to address any gaps. The
Contractor’s Solution may contain examples of the application of the proposed hazard identification and analysis techniques; 

  

	2.2.4	Describe how the Contractor will develop and maintain a hazard log (“Hazard Log”) for the Contract term. It is expected that the Hazard Log shall be updated
and delivered to the Department every three calendar months. The Contractor’s Solution must contain evidence of an ability to develop and maintain a suitable Hazard Log. This could, for instance, be an example of a previously developed Hazard
Log, either in Cassandra, Microsoft Access or other common format; 

  

	2.2.5	Submit evidence of an understanding of the ALARP principle as UK legislation requires all risks to be reduced to ALARP. This is to include a method statement for
application of the principle to determine whether individual risks are ALARP. The Contractor’s Solution may contain examples of previous ALARP analyses; and 

 

	2.2.6	Confirm that the Contractor will attend and provide such information as may reasonably be required for safety meetings.

 Introduction 
 The Contract infrastructure programme of works is an integral part of the solution to continue the successful operations of UK SAR. This element of the solution has been carefully analysed and evaluated
to consider the most appropriate infrastructure strategy to support the Contract. Infrastructure in the context of this Contract refers to the accommodation and facility buildings that will house the Services and the location of the Bases.

 The Contractor is fully aware that having suitable and well-maintained facilities is essential to ensuring that the prime function of the
Services can be undertaken smoothly and efficiently. The need to ensure that key issues such as access, availability and the maintenance of facilities to EASA standards need to be managed properly so as not to hinder operational activities.

 As the Contractor recognises the importance the role the infrastructure strategy plays in supporting the successful Services, we have
assembled an experienced team to assist with this section of the Contract: 
 XXXX*has been appointed as real estate consultant to provide
technical, development and cost advice on the infrastructure strategy. 
 XXXX*is an architectural practice with particular expertise in airside
and hangar construction, and has been engaged to provide architectural design services. 
 XXXX* is a leading engineering consultant with
expertise in aviation and hanger construction and have been engaged to provide structural, civil and building services engineering design services. 
 XXXX*is a leading UK construction and regeneration group with comprehensive geographical coverage and an extensive aviation track record. XXXX*has been engaged as the Contractor’s construction
partner.

	1.	Remote Refuelling Strategy 

  

	1.1	To provide continuation of service to the Department, the Contractor has determined that the XXXX* existing refuelling sites are required for the duration of the
Contract in order to provide XXXX* for the Services in XXXX*. 

  

	1.2	These refuelling sites are currently under a lease contract between the XXXX* and respective landlords at the following locations: 

 

	 	(a)	XXXX* 

  

	 	(b)	XXXX* 

  

	 	(c)	XXXX* 

  

	 	(d)	XXXX* 

  

	 	(e)	XXXX* 

  

	 	(f)	XXXX* 

  

	1.3	The advantage of continuing the provision of these remote refuelling sites is to mitigate the need for XXXX* to XXXX* to their respective XXXX* to refuel thus extending
the ability to conduct XXXX* and enhancing XXXX*. 

  

	2.	Maintenance Programme 

  

	2.1	The facilities at each site will be regularly XXXX* and XXXX* carried out using best practice methods and with due regard to the obligations contained within the lease.

  

	2.2	XXXX* checks will be conducted periodically by the chosen fuel provider and by the Contractor through an established XXXX* programme. This will typically be on a XXXX*
basis for each site. 

  

	3.	Fuel Provision 

  

	3.1	It is understood that the fuel tanks on each site have a XXXX* capacity except XXXX* which has a tank capacity of XXXX*. 

 

	3.2	The Contractor will procure a fuel provider to ensure the stock level at any particular site does not fall below a prescribed limit. This will be ensured by regular
visits to the site as well as a XXXX* capability is resources are quickly limited. The Contractor will enforce a contract with the fuel provider which measures this capability as a key performance indication to ensure risk of low level stock is
minimised. 

  

	3.3	The Contractor will also have on each operating site a XXXX* capacity fuel tank which is capable of being brought to an agreed area should the aircraft require due the
unavailability of the fuel tank. This can be conducted by the XXXX* with no restrictions on XXXX* of XXXX*. 

  

	3.4	The Contractor has liaised with XXXX* with a view to appointing them as the fuel provider. 

 

	4.	Lease Arrangement 

  

	4.1	The XXXX* have kindly granted and provided contact details for each site and with which the Contractor has engaged in dialogue with each landlord who have confirmed
their support to continue the service provision. The Contractor do not envisage the content of the current arrangement to substantially change and will ensure the duration of the contract and obligations are appropriately captured.

  
 XXXX* indicates material that has been omitted
pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A complete copy of this agreement, including the redacted portions so indicated, has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

	4.2	The Department has provided a schedule detailing each of these tenancies. 

  

	4.3	The Contractor has undertaken an initial analysis of these leases to determine whether they include suitable alienation provisions to enable operating from these sites
going forward. Consideration has also been given to any occupational risks going forward, including lease expiries and landlord break options. 

  

	4.4	Provided below is a table showing each of the existing tenancies along with a comments box highlighting the occupational risks that have been identified. It should be
noted that Bristow have only had sight of lease summaries at this stage and cannot verify this information.

	4.5	As detailed above, occupational risks have been identified for each of the sites based on the lease summaries provided. Whilst the Contractor has not identified
solutions at this stage it considers there will be a number of available options, which the Contractor can present to each of the lessors. These would be in the format of either a deed of variation or a surrender of the existing lease with the
Contractor entering into a new lease. If a deed of variation is determined to be the suitable way forward, then in nearly all cases a reversionary lease will have to be agreed, assuming the leases are not protected under the Landlord and Tenant Act
1954. The Contractor acknowledges that the XXXX*have arranged for all leases to terminate at the transition of XXXX*. The Contractor acknowledges that it will need to secure new leases at the remote refuelling sites and the current XXXX*leases will
not transfer to the Contractor. 

  

	4.6	The Contractor has commenced initial dialogue with each of the lessors however, at this stage the Contractor are unaware of the lease lengths and terms they might be
willing to grant. Despite this, the Contractor has received ‘in principle’ support from each party in their willingness to support the Contractor for the Contract. Attached as Annex A is email correspondence from each party demonstrating
their support.

	 	(b)	XXXX* – with a scale no greater than XXXX* kg/litre to check the relative XXXX* of fuel 

 

	 	(c)	XXXX* – with a XXXX* mls capability as a minimum 

  

	 	(d)	Sample jars – minimum XXXX* litre capacity for aircraft fuel tanks, XXXX* litres capacity for bulk storage 

 

	 	(e)	Trial jars 

  

	 	(f)	Clear XXXX* jar – for XXXX* checks 

  

	 	(g)	XXXX* water detection capsules 

  

	 	(h)	XXXX* meter – for XXXX* checks 

  

	 	(i)	XXXX* test kit – used to determine XXXX* or XXXX* levels of XXXX*

	1.	Overview 

  

	1.1	The Acceptance Procedure for Milestones M1 to M10 shall consist of a SAR scenario demonstration together with other acceptance activity the Contractor has timetabled
and a site audit in respect of each Base, in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Schedule, and Schedule 6.1—Transition Plan. 

  

	1.2	The Acceptance Procedure for Milestones M11 to M58 shall consist of a SAR scenario demonstration in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Schedule.

  

	1.3	The Acceptance Procedure shall only take place once the Civil Aviation Authority has granted the AOC at each Base. 

 

	1.4	In respect of Milestones M1 to M10: 

  

	 	(a)	no payment shall be made from the Department to the Contractor in respect of a Base until the Acceptance Procedure has been successfully completed for that Base;

  

	 	(b)	services shall only commence at any given Base once the Department has witnessed the Acceptance Procedure and given its approval in writing for Services to commence at
that Base; and 

  

	 	(c)	the date on which the Department approves the Acceptance Procedure is the date on which Services commence for that Base and is the Operational Delivery Date for that
Base. 

  

	2.	SAR Scenario Demonstration 

  

	2.1	The Contractor will demonstrate that the Services can be delivered by performing one comprehensive SAR scenario demonstration in respect of Milestones M1 to M58.

  

	2.2	The SAR scenario demonstrations shall be completed by the Milestone Dates outlined in Schedule 6.1—Transition Plan. 

 

	2.3	The content of the SAR scenario demonstrations for each Base shall be in accordance with the Annexes to this Schedule 6.2—Acceptance Procedures.

  

	2.4	The Contractor will precisely replicate the procedure it would use if the situation was real with the exception that training limits and safety shall not be
compromised. 

  

	2.5	The Department may waive the Contractor’s obligation to perform a SAR scenario demonstration at any Base if the Department considers that there is sufficient
evidence that the Services can be delivered, through an earlier SAR scenario demonstration. 

  

	2.6	Should the Department deem a SAR scenario demonstration unsuccessful at any Base, the Contractor shall make arrangements for the performance of a further SAR scenario
demonstration at that Base within twenty (20) Working Days. 

  

	2.7	The Contractor shall bear the cost of all SAR scenario demonstrations (excluding any costs incurred by the Department). 

 

	2.8	All resources to perform each SAR scenario demonstration shall be organised and procured by the Contractor. 

  
 Page 4 of 30

	3.	Site Audit 

  

	3.1	In respect of each of the Bases to which Milestones M1 to M10 refer, on the same date on which the SAR scenario demonstration takes place, the Department shall perform
an audit of that same Base. 

  

	3.2	The Department shall ensure that the procedures and practices in operation on each Base are in accordance with Good Industry Practice. This includes, but is not limited
to: 

  

	 	(a)	aircrew training records; 

  

	 	(b)	engineering practices; 

  

	 	(c)	quality processes; 

  

	 	(d)	local safety procedures and hazard analysis; 

  

	 	(e)	equipment checks; and 

  

	 	(f)	infrastructure and accommodation. 

  

	4.	Non Conformances 

  

	4.1	Any non conformances identified by the Department during the Acceptance Procedure will be documented and passed to the Contractor. 

 

	4.2	On the date on which the Acceptance Procedure takes place, the Parties will endeavour to agree a date by which the Contractor will rectify any non conformances.

  

	4.3	The Acceptance Procedure shall not be completed for a Base until all material non conformances have been rectified. 

 

	4.4	The Contractor shall provide proof of any rectification action in respect of non conformances, which may require further visits by the Department.

  

	5.	Further Visits 

  

	5.1	Further visits can be arranged at the Department’s discretion either with or without prior notice to the Contractor.

 Appendix A: Demonstration Matrix 
 The Contractor understands that irrespective of the Contractor’s completion of the demonstrations outlined in this Appendix A: Demonstration Matrix and Annex A: Contractor’s Acceptance Approach,
the Department will not accept the Milestone for Operational Delivery Date for each Base (and thus the Services cannot commence) until the Contractor has demonstrated to the Department’s satisfaction compliance with all of the Department’s
requirements and specified levels of service, as set out at paragraph 3 of Schedule 2.5—Transition and Acceptance, and in particular paragraphs 3.1.2, 3.2.2 and 3.8. XXXX*

	1.1	This Schedule 7.1 (Compensation Payment) sets out the Maximum Compensation Payment due to the Contractor if the Department exercises its option to terminate the
Contract for convenience in accordance with Condition 45 either for the whole or part of the Contract or for any Base. 

  

	1.2	This Schedule 7.1 (Compensation Payment) contains a spreadsheet at Annex A with three worksheets entitled “Compensation Payment”, “Discount Factors”
and “Discounted Compensation Payment”. 

  

	1.3	Worksheets “Discount Factors” and “Discounted Compensation Payment” are for evaluation purposes and do not have any contractual effect. The Maximum
Compensation Payment for each of the relevant Bases at certain defined dates of termination is set out in the worksheet “Compensation Payment”. 

  

	1.4	The Maximum Compensation Payment shall be the maximum that the Department would pay in the event that the Department exercises its option to terminate the Contract for
convenience in accordance with Condition 45. The actual value that the Department will pay will be the total of the Forecast Profit, Unrecovered Costs and Breakage Costs each as mitigated in accordance with Condition 45 and subject to the limits of
liability in Condition 51 and the Maximum Compensation Payment for the relevant Base (whichever is the lower).

	1.	Executive Summary 

 XXXX* 

 

	2.	Question 1: Proposed Commercial Structure 

  

	2.1	Describe the proposed commercial structure of the Revised Proposal, including the proposed role of the Contractor (the entity that will contract with the Department)
and the roles of other partners (if applicable). Contractors are reminded of the requirement to remain compliant with the PQQ process. For example, the Contractor may use a consortium structure consisting of an SPV with several shareholders
providing the whole service between them, or the Contractor may act itself as the prime contractor, sub-contracting services to other partners as appropriate. These two examples are not exhaustive but simply an illustration of the information the
Department requires.

	3.	Question 2: The Contractor’s Finance Solution 

  

	3.1	An explanation of the Contractor’s proposed capital structure setting out the expected sources of funding. 

XXXX* 
  

	3.2	The amount of finance the Contractor needs to raise to fulfil its contractual obligations – this amount should be clearly reconcilable to the Financial Model.
Contractors should state clearly each source of finance, and the sum required from each source to cover the total amount the Contractor needs to raise. For clarity, the Department expects the Contractor to account for how it will fund, in full, the
costs of transition (Pre-Operating costs within the Financial Model) as well the costs of the aircraft it will use to provide the SAR service and any ongoing working capital requirements that may be required. 

XXXX* 
  

	3.3	An explanation of the indicative terms of each source of finance including: the overall cost of the finance (broken down into its component parts), fees, financial
covenants, interest rate/foreign exchange/tax/inflation management proposals and debt amortisation profile. Where the Contractor proposes to use aircraft and other assets it owns, equivalent internal costs of finance should be described. The
Contractor should provide clear evidence of the indicative terms described and these should clearly reconcile to the Financial Model where applicable. 

 XXXX* 
  

	3.4	Evidence that the sources of finance described above will be committed to the Contractor at the point of expected contract signature and made available as required
prior to Operations beginning at each base. Template letters of support from both third party funders and from providers of internal sources of finance are set out at Appendix C. The Department expects all sources of finance described by Contractors
to have corresponding letters of support in the form of the templates provided. Any further evidence demonstrating the maturity and deliverability of the Finance Solution, such as Term Sheets and/or full Finance Agreements should be included within
the submission.

 Page 6 of 12

	3.5	Evidence that each funder is able to provide the amount of finance required. 

 XXXX* 
  

	3.6	A clear and deliverable plan setting out how the Contractor will progress its Finance Solution between the date of this submission and the point of expected contract
signature. Evidence of engagement with, and the agreement of, third party and internal sources of funding to this plan should be provided. 

 XXXX* 
  

	4.	Question 3: Financial Robustness of the Revised Proposal 

  

	4.1	SAR is a blue-light service and it is vital that the 98% availability requirement is met at all times throughout the Operational Delivery Phase.

 XXXX* 
  

	4.2	In particular, responses should include reference to the following (where applicable): (A) any ‘buffers’, contingency or profit within its Revised
Proposal price which will help it withstand unexpected events; (B) any hedging that will aid the Contractor in managing its cost base; (C) any reserve accounts/facilities/contractual mechanisms in place that will help the Contractor manage
fluctuations in cashflow; (D) any support that the Contractor has, from its shareholders or from third parties, that could provide assurance to the Department that the UK SAR service would continue to be provided in all circumstances. If such
support forms part of the Contract, evidence such as a letter from the board of the relevant entity detailing the nature of that support should be provided, as well as information to enable the Department to assess the credit standing of the entity
providing such support; and (E) any other means of support the Contractor proposes to seek in order to provide evidence of the robustness of its Revised Proposal.

	1.	Introduction 

  

	1.1	This Schedule should be read in conjunction with the Contract, particularly Conditions 15 (Contract Price), 16 (Invoices and Payment) and 17 (Value Added Tax).

  

	1.2	The purpose of this Schedule is to set out the Pricing Schedule for each Base which applies from the start of each Operational Delivery Phase. 

 

	1.3	This Schedule includes: 

  

	 	(a)	Annex A – XXXX* 

  

	 	(b)	Annex B – XXXX* 

  

	 	(c)	Annex C – XXXX* 

  

	1.4	Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Parties, any change to the Pricing Schedules or Financial Model shall be subject to the Change Control
Procedure. Such procedure shall require the Parties to first amend the Financial Model and then re-generate each Pricing Schedule and confirm their acceptance. The Parties agree to place the Financial Model and Pricing Schedule under strict change
and version control. 

  

	1.5	If the Department exercises its right to extend the Contract for any Base (or for any combination of Bases) in accordance with Condition 2 (Duration) of the General
Conditions of Contract, then the Contract Price for such Base shall be calculated by projecting forward the existing values and formula in the Financial Model for the relevant number of Months. Such change shall be recorded in the Change Control
Procedure. 

  

	1.6	Subject to the Change Control Procedure, where the Contractor provides additional services to the Department, such services shall be supplied at prices which are no
greater than the equivalent prices calculated from the Financial Model. 

  

	1.7	The Contract Price is comprised of: 

  

	 	(a)	Monthly Standing Charge; 

  

	 	(b)	Flying Charge; 

  

	 	(c)	Fuel Charge; and 

  

	 	(d)	Ancillary Charge, 

 as further
set out in this Schedule 7.5 (Price Schedules). 
  

	2.	Monthly Standing Charge 

  

	2.1	The Monthly Standing Charge XXXX* will be paid to the Contractor each Month, subject to any agreed indexation as set out below. 

 

	2.2	The Monthly Standing Charge is currently set out in real terms assuming a base price date of 1 April 2013 on a per Base basis. 

 
 XXXX* indicates material that has been omitted pursuant to a Request for
Confidential Treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A complete copy of this agreement, including the redacted portions so indicated, has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

  
 Page 4 of 13

	2.3	The Contractor has specified in the Financial Model whether each cost recovered via the Monthly Standing Charge is fixed (and therefore is not subject to indexation
during the course of the Agreement) or subject to indexation by RPI. 

  

	2.4	The proportion of the Monthly Standing Charge that is subject to indexation by RPI is based on the proportion of costs to which the Contractor has specified that RPI
will apply compared across the entire cost base. 

  

	2.5	The Monthly Standing Charge which is subject to indexation at RPI will be adjusted on 1 April each year for the next twelve (12) Months.

  

	2.6	The net indexation factor to apply will be based on the change in RPI from March 2013 to December of the preceding calendar year and the proportion of the Monthly
Standing Charge subject to indexation. The change in RPI will be the RPI value from December of the preceding year divided by the RPI value from March 2013, as published by the Office for National Statistics. 

 

	2.7	The net indexation factor will be applied to the Monthly Standing Charge for the next twelve (12) Months to produce a Monthly Standing Charge in nominal terms.

  

	2.8	As set out in Condition 15.3(b), where a Month is a part month, then the Monthly Standing Charge shall be pro rated accordingly. 

 

	2.9	The formula below summarises how the net indexation factor is derived: 

 IfnSC = (1-Prop RPI(SC)) + ((Prop RPI(SC) x (RPIn/RPIBase)) 
  

	 	(a)	IfnSC = net indexation factor; 

  

	 	(b)	Prop RPI(SC) = proportion of the Monthly Standing Charge to be indexed at RPI, which can be found at row 19 of the Price Schedule tab within the Cost Model;

  

	 	(c)	RPIn = RPI value from December of the preceding year; and 

  

	 	(d)	RPIBase = RPI value from March 2013; and 

  

	3.	Flying Charge 

  

	3.1	The total Flying Charge paid to the Contractor each Month will be calculated for each Base as follows: 

Flying Hours x Hourly Flying Rate 
  

	3.2	The Hourly Flying Rate XXXX* is subject to any agreed indexation as set out below. 

 

	3.3	The Hourly Flying Rate is currently set out in real terms assuming a base price date of 1 April 2013 on a per Base basis. 

 

	3.4	The Contractor has specified in the Financial Model whether each cost recovered via the Flying Charge is fixed (and therefore is not subject to indexation during the
course of the Agreement) or subject to indexation by RPI. 

  

	3.5	The proportion of the Hourly Flying Rate that is subject to indexation by RPI is based on the proportion of costs to which the Contractor has specified that RPI will
apply compared across the entire cost base.

	3.6	The Hourly Flying Rate which is subject to indexation at RPI will be adjusted on 1 April each year for the next twelve (12) Months. 

 

	3.7	The net inflation factor to apply will be based on the change in RPI from March 2013 to December of the preceding calendar year and the proportion of the Hourly Flying
Rate subject to indexation. The change in RPI will be the RPI value from December of the preceding year divided by the RPI value from March 3013, as published by the Office for National Statistics. 

 

	3.8	The net indexation factor will be applied to the Hourly Flying Rate for the next twelve (12) Months to produce a Hourly Flying Rate in nominal terms.

  

	3.9	The formula below summarises how the net indexation factor is derived: 

 IfnFC = (1-Prop RPI(FC)) + ((Prop RPI(FC) x (RPIn/RPIBase)) 
  

	 	(a)	IfnFC = net indexation factor; 

  

	 	(b)	Prop RPI(FC) = proportion of the Hourly Flying Rate to be indexed at RPI, which can be found at row 36 of the Price Schedule tab within the Cost Model;

  

	 	(c)	RPIn = RPI value from December of the preceding year; and 

  

	 	(d)	RPIBase = RPI value from March 2013. 

  

	4.	Fuel Charge 

  

	4.1	The total Fuel Charge paid to the Contractor each Month will be calculated for each Base as follows: 

Flying Hours x Fuel Burn Rate x Agreed Fuel Price; 
  

	4.2	The total Fuel Charge paid by the Department will be the sum of the Fuel Charge for each Aircraft. 

 

	4.3	The Contract Fuel Price at each Base will be set by an independent market expert in the month prior to Operational Delivery Date at each Base. For the first six
(6) Months of the Operational Delivery Phase the Department will pay the Contractor the Fuel Charge calculated by reference to the Contract Fuel Price. 

 

	4.3.1	Not less than one (1) Month before the Review Date, and in accordance with Condition 15.4 of the Agreement, the Contractor must submit evidence of the Market Fuel
Price at each Base. The Market Fuel Price will be reviewed and agreed on or before the Review Date between the Department and the Contractor. 

  

	4.3.2	Should the Contractor and the Department be unable to agree a Market Fuel Price within five Working Days of the Review Date then either Party may refer the issue to
Dispute Resolution in accordance with Condition 53 (Dispute Resolution) of the Agreement. 

  

	4.4	The Fuel Price Variation must be the same value, and for the duration of the Agreement and for all Bases shall be £0.15. 

 

	4.5	The Maximum and Minimum Fuel Prices are therefore: 

  

	 	(a)	The Maximum Fuel Price = Contract Fuel Price + Fuel Price Variation £0.15; and 

 

	 	(b)	The Minimum Fuel Price = Contract Fuel Price – Fuel Price Variation £0.15. 

  
 Page 6 of 13

	4.6	If the Market Fuel Price is within the Maximum Fuel Price and Minimum Fuel Price, the Agreed Fuel Price will be the Contract Fuel Price. 

 

	4.7	If the Market Fuel Price exceeds the Maximum Fuel Price, the Agreed Fuel Price will be the Market Fuel Price less the difference between the Contract Fuel Price and the
Maximum Fuel Price. 

  

	4.8	If the Market Fuel Price is below the Minimum Fuel Price, the Agreed Fuel Price will be the Market Fuel Price plus the difference between the Contract Fuel Price and
the Minimum Fuel Price. 

  

	4.9	The worked example below illustrates how the Agreed Fuel Price is derived: 

 

	 	(a)	For the purposes of this illustration and the Contract Fuel Price is £1.00 per litre and the Fuel Price Variation is £0.10, therefore the Maximum Fuel
Price is £1.10, the Minimum Fuel Price is £0.90. 

  

	 	(b)	At the Review Date, it is agreed by the Contractor and the Department that the Market Fuel Price is £1.05. The Agreed Fuel Price will be the Contract Fuel Price
at £1.00 per litre. 

  

	 	(c)	At the Review Date, it is agreed by the Contractor and the Department that the Market Fuel Price is £0.95. The Agreed Fuel Price will be the Contract Fuel Price
at £1.00 per litre 

  

	 	(d)	At the Review Date, it is agreed by the Contractor and the Department that the Market Fuel Price is £1.50. The Agreed Fuel Price will be £1.40 per
litre (Market Fuel Price at £1.50 – (Maximum Fuel Price at £1.10 – Contract Fuel Price at £1.00)). 

  

	 	(e)	At the Review Date, it is agreed by the Contractor and the Department that the Market Fuel Price is £0.50. The Agreed Fuel Price will be £0.60 per
litre (Market Fuel Price at £0.50 + (Contract Fuel Price at £1.00 – Minimum Fuel Price at £0.90)). 

  

	5.	Ancillary Charge 

  

	5.1	Ancillary Charges are costs for which the Contractor is able to invoice the Department on a pass through basis each Month. The Contractor may not apply any mark up to
such underlying costs. 

  

	5.2	The Ancillary Charges are: 

  

	 	(a)	airport-related charges, including landing charges and associated costs incurred when an Aircraft lands: 

 

	 	(i)	at a location that is not the Base from which it usually operates; and 

  

	 	(ii)	whilst performing the Services subject to a Task; 

  

	 	(b)	medical consumables: 

  

	 	(i)	used to treat rescued members of the public; and 

  

	 	(ii)	whilst performing the Services subject to a Task. 

  
 Page 7 of 13

	6.	Value Added Tax 

  

	6.1	The Contractor has determined that the Services shall be treated for Value Added Tax purposes as standard rated. 

 

	6.2	The Contractor shall ensure that the invoices reflect the correct VAT treatment as determined by HMRC.

	1.	Introduction 

  

	1.1	This Schedule 8.2 (Contract Incentive Scheme (KPIs)) is aimed at supporting the development of Service Level Categories that can be effectively measured to provide an
evidence base supporting the quality of service provided by the Contractor. The Department is primarily concerned with receiving good service. However the Department does not wish to pay for a contracted level of service that is not being delivered
and an appropriate Service Credit regime is required to incentivise and support service delivery. The Service Level and Service Credit regime must be a means to achieve these objectives and not an end itself. 

 

	1.2	The Department has identified Service Level Categories at Annex A (Service Level Categories) for which the Contractor has identified the Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs), associated metrics to evidence the quality of service being delivered at all stages of the contracted deliverable and proposed Service Credits in the Annexes to this Schedule 8.2 (Contract Incentive Scheme (KPIs)). 

 

	1.3	The KPI for Availability is set out at Annex C and the KPI for Responsiveness is set out at Annex D (the “Mandated KPIs”). 

 

	1.4	The Contractor must support the KPIs with Management Information which will be reported periodically to the Department to provide the evidence base to support effective
governance of the Contract and promote the Contractor’s obligation to provide good service. 

  

	1.5	The parties may agree additional KPIs from time to time in accordance with the Change Control Procedure. 

 

	1.6	Where specific Measurement Tools are stipulated the Contractor may amend such Measurement Tools provided always that such amendment does not affect the ability of the
Contractor to provide the Service in accordance with the SLCs set out in this Schedule and such amendment is agreed through the Change Control Procedure. 

  

	1.7	KPIs shall be used only in connection with those parts of the Services which are provided by or on behalf of the Contractor. 

 

	2.	Key Performance Indicators and Reporting 

  

	2.1	Performance Level values for each KPI and Service Credits values (excluding the Mandated KPIs) will be finalised during the Initial Period. 

 

	2.2	The value of such Performance Levels and Service Credits shall not unreasonably deviate from those set out at the Annexes to this Schedule 8.2 (Contract Incentive
Scheme (KPIs)) in respect of each KPI. 

  

	2.3	For the avoidance of doubt the corresponding values for KPIs as at the Commencement Date of this Agreement shall apply: 

 

	 	(a)	during the Initial Period; 

  

	 	(b)	if the parties fail to reach agreement on a value of a Performance Level or Service Credit with respect to the relevant KPI during the Initial Period or thereafter;

  

	 	(c)	unless otherwise agreed through the Change Control Procedure.

	3.	Service Levels 

  

	3.1	The Contractor shall measure and report in writing to the Department on the performance of the Services during the Measurement Window against each Service Level
Category listed at Annex A (Service Level Categories) by the use of Key Performance Indicators. 

  

	3.2	The measure of the performance of the Services shall be in respect of all KPIs and shall be made over successive and contiguous Measurement Windows.

  

	3.3	The Measurement Tool pertaining to each KPI within a SLC shall be used to measure the level of performance of the Services with respect to that KPI so as to produce the
score which indicates the actual level of the Service’s performance with respect to that SLC. 

  

	3.4	Where the Measurement Tool associated with a KPI indicates that the performance of the Services with respect to that KPI has met that KPI’s Performance Level, the
Contractor shall assign to the score associated with that KPI the corresponding Maximum Score. 

  

	3.5	This score shall be entered into the Contractor’s report on the Services’ performance over the Measurement Window. The report shall contain, where applicable
and with respect to each KPI, each KPI’s actual score. 

  

	3.6	The report shall also contain the Service Credits, if any, due to the Department arising during the subject Measurement Window. 

 

	3.7	The Contractor shall submit to the Department its written report on the results of the measurement of the Services in respect of the KPIs during a Measurement Window no
later than seven (7) days after the end of that Measurement Window. The Contractor is reminded that the Performance Report due under Condition 16.1 must be provided within seven (7) days of the end of each Month. 

 

	3.8	The report and KPIs may be reviewed during the Service review meetings as set out in Schedule 8.1 (Governance and Contract Management) or as otherwise held between the
Parties. 

  

	4.	Service Credits 

  

	4.1	Service Credits are not an exclusive remedy and the Department expressly reserves the right to exercise all other rights and remedies under the Contract or the general
law, including without limitation termination, step-in and damages. Such rights will be available to the Department irrespective of whether Service Credits are accruing, paid or payable. 

 

	4.2	The KPIs also specify any additional remedies available (over and above those contained within the General Conditions of Contract and under the general law) for a
failure to provide the Services (for example, increased resource commitment, provision of a fault recovery plan, Department right to request third party assistance at Contractor cost, and additional specified termination rights).

  

	4.3	Service Credits shall be awarded to the Department to reflect the following two measures: 

 

	 	(a)	the degree to which the score associated with a KPI fell below the agreed Performance Level threshold; and 

 

	 	(b)	the frequency of such occurrences over consecutive Measurement Windows (“Persistent Failure Service Credits”). 

  
 Page 6 of 32

	4.4	Service Credits arising during a Measurement Window shall be deducted by the Department from any amount falling due to the Contractor immediately after the Measurement
Window. In the event that the Agreement is terminated and there is no amount falling due to the Contractor immediately after the Measurement Window from which the Department can make the deduction, the Contractor shall pay the Department the amount
falling due within thirty (30) days. 

  

	4.5	The parties shall review the Service Credit regime at three (3) Month intervals or such other date as may be agreed between the parties through the Change Control
Procedure. 

  

	5.	Records 

  

	5.1	In order to calculate and monitor performance the Contractor shall provide to the Department in respect of each Base, the information contained in paragraph 1 and
paragraph 6.3 of Schedule 2.1 (Specification), Schedule 4.1 (Contractor’s Solution) and Schedule 8.9 (Management Plan Requirements). This operational information shall provide the daily source data for statistical returns to the Department and
shall be auditable in accordance with Condition 8 (Inspection) of the Contract. 

  

	5.2	For each Base, the Contractor shall: 

  

	 	(a)	provide a real time web based application detailing all monthly activity, for which the Department has view access; and 

 

	 	(b)	submit a monthly activity report to the Department within five (5) Working Days of the end of each Month.

	21.	Annex C: KPI for Availability 

  

	21.1	Availability Measurement 

  

	21.2	Criteria 

  

	21.2.1	One Aircraft is required to be fully Available at each Base for at least 98% of the Duty Hours at a Base in any Month. For the purpose of this Schedule 8.2 (Contract
Incentive Scheme (KPIs)), available and availability mean that: 

  

	 	(a)	the full complement of Crew is Available to perform the Services; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Airborne System is serviceable, fully and correctly equipped to provide the Services, and ready to take off as soon as the Crew have completed their planning,
pre-start checks and starting procedures, 

 and as calculated in accordance with paragraph 26.3 below
(“Available” or “Availability”). 
  

	21.3	Reporting 

  

	21.3.1	The Monthly Standing Charge for a Base will be paid in full to the Contractor whenever Availability at that Base during a Month reaches or exceeds 98%. If Availability
falls below 98% at any Base, the monthly payment for that Base will be calculated by multiplying the percentage Availability achieved in the relevant Month by the Monthly Standing Charge. 

 

	21.3.2	A Base shall be deemed partially available if: 

  

	 	(a)	it lacks a Crew member but is still able to offer limited capability (such as searches or medical transfer), or 

 

	 	(b)	any one of the following items of equipment on the Aircraft is unserviceable: 

 

	 	(i)	autohover; 

  

	 	(ii)	FLIR; 

  

	 	(iii)	search radar; 

  

	 	(iv)	long range communications; or 

  

	 	(v)	one of the hoists (but the other hoist is still serviceable), 

 (“Partially Available” or “Partial Availability”). 
  

	21.4	A Base shall be deemed unavailable for all other instances where the full Crew complement is not Available or the Airborne System is unserviceable
(“Unavailable” or “Unavailability”). 

  

	21.5	The Contractor shall report by the most appropriate mechanism periods of Partial Unavailability or Unavailability as soon as practically possible following the
commencement of loss of service to the Department and the Tasking Authority. A proforma email notification is provided at Appendix 1. 

  

	21.6	Should the estimated downtime be exceeded, the Contractor shall provide the Department and Tasking Authority with an update to the initial loss of service notification
in accordance with Appendix 1 as soon as practically possible following the Contractor becoming aware that the initial estimated downtime will be exceeded. 

  
 Page 27 of 32

	21.7	The Contractor shall report service recovery as soon as practically possible after recommencement of the service to the Department and the Tasking Authority in
accordance with the proforma identified at Appendix 1. 

  

	22.	Availability Calculation 

  

	22.1	The Base shall be considered Unavailable for the purposes of paragraph 26.3 for half the period during which it was deemed Partially Available in accordance with
paragraph 21.3.2. 

  

	22.2	Where a Base is deemed Unavailable for any single period that lasts more than twelve (12) hours, the duration of this period of Unavailability shall be doubled and
the adjusted period shall be used in calculating Availability. 

  

	22.3	For the purposes of calculating a Base Availability in a reporting period (nominally a calendar month), periods of Partial Availability or Unavailability, adjusted in
accordance with paragraphs 22.1 and 22.2, shall be cumulative during the reporting period. The cumulative periods of Unavailability (which includes the periods of Partial Availability adjusted in accordance with paragraph 26.2) shall be deducted
from the Duty Hours in the reporting period. The resultant figure shall be measured as a proportional representation of the Duty Hours to provide the percentage Availability. 

Availability for a reporting period = 
 Duty Hours – (Cumulative periods of Unavailability) x 100 
 Duty Hours

  

	22.4	Where the Base is declared Unavailable for a cumulative period exceeding a total of 24 hours in any Month, the Contractor’s performance shall be the subject of
investigation and appropriate action by the Department under Condition 42 (Unsatisfactory Performance). 

  

	22.5	If the Base is declared Unavailable for any cumulative period exceeding a total of 72 hours in any Month, no additional deduction shall be made from the Monthly
Standing Charge in respect of the period of time in excess of 72 hours. 

  

	23.	Availability Report 

  

	23.1	For each Base, the Contractor shall submit a monthly activity report to the Department within five (5) Working Days of the end of each Month. The report shall be
in the format agreed by the Department. An example is shown at Appendix 2 below.

	1.	Overview 

  

	1.1	The Contractor is required to ensure the orderly transition of the Services from the Contractor to the Department and/or any Replacement Contractor in the event of
termination (including partial termination) or expiry of this Contract. This Schedule 10 (Exit Schedule) sets out the principles of the exit and service transfer arrangements that are intended to achieve such orderly transition and which shall form
the basis of the Exit Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contractor shall be responsible for the overall management of the exit and service transfer arrangements. This Schedule is in addition to the obligations of Condition 47, and does not
reduce the requirements on the Contractor under that condition. 

  

	2.	Contract Life Obligations 

  

	2.1	During the Term the Contractor will: 

  

	 	(a)	maintain a register of all of the Assets, detailing their ownership and the Net Book Value of such Assets, and detailing all Sub-contracts and other relevant agreements
(including relevant software licences, maintenance and support agreements and equipment rental and lease agreements) required for the performance of the Services; 

 

	 	(b)	maintain a document detailing how the Contractor provides the Services. This document should be of sufficient detail to permit the Department and/or Replacement
Contractor to understand how the Contractor provides the Services and to enable the smooth transition of the Services with the minimum of disruption, 

  

	    	(collectively the “Registers”). The Contractor shall maintain the Registers in such format as is agreed between the Parties and shall update the Registers
from time to time and in particular in the event that Assets, Sub-contracts or other relevant agreements are added to or removed from the Services. 

  

	2.2	The Contractor will appoint an Exit Manager and provide written notification of such appointment to the Department within three (3) Months of the Commencement
Date. The Contractor’s Exit Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the Contractor and its Employees, agents and Sub-contractors comply with this schedule. The Contractor will ensure that its Exit Manager has the requisite authority to
arrange and procure any resources of the Contractor as are reasonably necessary to enable the Contractor to comply with the requirements set out in this Schedule. The Contractor’s Exit Manager will liaise with the Department representative in
relation to all issues relevant to the termination of this Contract and all matters connected with this Schedule and each Party’s compliance with it. 

  

	3.	Obligations To Assist On Re-Tendering Of Services 

  

	3.1	On reasonable notice, the Contractor shall provide to the Department and/or (subject to the potential Replacement Contractor entering into reasonable written
confidentiality undertakings) to its potential Replacement Contractor, the following material and information in order to facilitate the preparation by the Department of any invitation to tender and/or to facilitate any potential Replacement
Contractor undertaking due diligence: 

  

	 	(a)	details of the Service(s); 

  

	 	(b)	details of the Assets (including make, model and asset number) and of the Net Book Value of such Assets and details of their condition and physical location;

  
 Page 3 of 12

	 	(c)	details of and information relating to the use of the Assets (including technical specifications); 

 

	 	(d)	an inventory of Department Data in the Contractor’s possession or control; 

 

	 	(e)	a copy of the Registers, updated by the Contractor up to the date of delivery of such Registers; and 

 

	 	(f)	all information relating to Transferring Employees required to be provided by the Contractor under this Contract.

4.3 below. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of the Exit Plan, the Parties will use their respective reasonable endeavours to agree the contents of the Exit Plan. If the Parties are unable to agree the contents of the Exit Plan then

	4.2	The Exit Plan will contain, as a minimum: 

  

	 	(a)	separate mechanisms for dealing with Ordinary Exit and Emergency Exit, the provisions relating to Emergency Exit being prepared on the assumption that the Contractor
may be unable to provide the full level of assistance which is required by the provisions relating to Ordinary Exit, and in the case of Emergency Exit, provision for the supply by the Contractor of all such reasonable assistance as the Department
shall require to enable the Department or its subcontractors to provide the Services; 

  

	 	(b)	the management structure to be employed during both transfer and cessation of the Services in an Ordinary Exit and an Emergency Exit; and 

 

	 	(c)	a detailed description of both the transfer and cessation processes, including a timetable, applicable in the case of an Ordinary Exit and an Emergency Exit.

  

	4.3	In addition, the Exit Plan shall: 

  

	 	(a)	document how the Services will transfer to the Replacement Contractor and/or the Department, including details of the processes, documentation, data transfer, systems
migration, security and the segregation of the Department’s technology components from any technology components operated by the Contractor or its Sub-contractors (where applicable); 

 

	 	(b)	specify the scope of the Termination Services that may be required for the benefit of the Department (including such of the services set out in paragraph 5.13 below as
are applicable) and detail how such services would be provided (if required), during the Termination Assistance Period; 

  

	 	(c)	set out procedures to deal with requests made by the Department and/or a Replacement Contractor for Staffing Information pursuant to Schedule 9 (Employment and

changes in the Services. Following such update the Contractor will submit the revised Exit Plan to the Department for review. Within thirty (30) days following submission of the revised Exit Plan, the Parties shall meet and use reasonable
endeavours to agree the contents of the revised Exit Plan, based on the principles set out in this Schedule and the changes that have occurred in the Services since the Exit Plan was last agreed. If the Parties are unable to agree the contents of
the revised Exit Plan within that thirty (30) day period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure. 

  

	5.	Termination Services
