- Published justification
The A400M Delivery Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ( “the Authority”), intends to amend its contract (A400M/089) with Vistair Systems Ltd to extend the duration for a period of six months with a six-month option to further extend, and uplift the current contractual value up to approximately £471,000 and a further £511,000 for an additional six months to facilitate competition to re-tender for the service completes. It is considered that the variation does not alter the scope of nature of the Contract thus not material. As such the Contract can be varied to facilitate a robust competition and transition period while ensuring operational capability.
