    "description": "The C-17 Command Support and Airborne Equipment (C17CSAE) team as part of the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a requirement to maintain continuity of essential UK Armed Forces parachute equipment packing services within the UK. \r\n\r\nThe requirement for UK parachute equipment packing services was competed under Contract Notice reference 2023/S 000-030988.  The Invitation to Negotiate for the provision of UK services was cancelled on 11th September 2024 via publication of a Corrigendum Notice on the Find a Tender Service [Notice reference: 2024/S 000-029148] due to an absence of sufficient tenderers to ensure a genuine competition.\r\n\r\nIt has therefore been determined that, as a result of a failed competition to recompete the UK requirement, the UK MOD will directly award a new single-source contract for continuation of UK parachute packing service provision to IrvinGQ Limited under Regulation 16(1)(a)(i) (the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication of a Contract Notice) of DSPCR 2011 for a maximum duration of five (5) years.  The maximum expected value of the new contract, including all options, is twenty-six million pounds (\u00a326M).      \r\n\r\nThe Contract will be a Qualifying Defence Contract subject to the provisions of the Defence Reform Act 2014 and the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014, as amended. \r\n\r\nThe expected date of contract award is Q4 2025.",
