| Procurement Method: | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition |
| Method Rationale: |
| HIAL identified an urgent requirement to replace obsolete Voice Communications and Control Systems (VCCS) at Benbecula, Stornoway and Wick Airports. The existing systems were assessed as presenting a high and increasing operational risk due to obsolescence, the unavailability of manufacturer support, existing faults and the potential impact on the continued provision of air traffic services. Following consideration of the operational risks, business case and supporting justification, a Non-Competitive Action process was undertaken and a contract was awarded to Copperchase Limited for the supply, installation, commissioning, training, warranty and support associated with replacement VCCS equipment. The Authority considered that delaying implementation until completion of a competitive procurement process would materially extend the period during which the identified operational risks remained. |
