Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by the Ministry of Defence, is for the provision of a Rotary Wing Command Support Air Transport Helicopter Service (RWCSAT). The contract aims to provide point-to-point flights for high-priority military personnel, ministers, and government officials within the UK and near Europe. The procurement falls under the 'Air transport services' category and is being managed through a restricted procedure. The service is expected to start on 1st December 2024 and run until 30th November 2029, with a potential extension of one additional year. The closing deadline for the tender is 15th March 2024. The services must be delivered in various locations, including the South East of the UK, with an estimated contract value ranging between £30-40 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in military air transport and maintenance services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, though voluntary community sector organisations (VCSEs) are excluded. Businesses with expertise in securing DAOS and MAOS accreditation, providing initial and continual pilot training, and ensuring readiness for up to 500 flight hours per annum are especially well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms capable of offering robust maintenance, supply chain management, and possessing necessary cybersecurity certifications will find this tender aligns well with their services, paving the way for substantial business growth through long-term government collaborations.
