Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, Combat Air, UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) Project Team is currently engaged in the planning stage of the Air Support to Defence Operational Training (ASDOT) programme. This initiative, which falls under the defence services category, aims to provide live flying assets for various training requirements, including Air to Air Combat and Electronic Warfare. The estimated value of the programme is approximately £962 million, with an initial phase projected to start in 2020 and anticipated to last for 15 years. Interested parties have the opportunity to engage with the project team ahead of a formal competition, which will involve a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and is scheduled for an Investment Decision by the end of 2016. Opportunities for suppliers to learn more about the ASDOT requirements will be provided during an Industry Day to be announced shortly.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in defence services, especially those with capabilities in providing training support and related aerospace technology. The multi-phase nature of the ASDOT programme allows for incremental participation, making it suitable for larger contractors and specialised technology firms. Businesses engaged in areas such as air traffic control, ground-based air defence, and electronic warfare systems would be well-suited to compete. Companies are encouraged to communicate with the UKMFTS Project Team to discuss potential contributions to contract performance measures and technology integration strategies.
