Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to procure ten additional Key Storage Units (KSUs) as part of their ongoing support for the Wildcat Helicopter fleet. This procurement, valued at £95,860, falls under the category of goods, specifically helicopters, and is taking place in Yeovil, England. The tender was published on 4th March 2020, with the tender period closing on 20th March 2020. This process is being conducted through a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, as permitted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, due to the nature of the required supplies being integral to existing systems.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for entities within the defence services sector, particularly those with experience in providing specialised goods for military applications. Suppliers that have capabilities in the manufacture or support of helicopter components and technology would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the specific needs of the Ministry of Defence, businesses with established relationships or existing contracts in defence are encouraged to explore potential collaborations or partnerships in response to this tender.

Procurement of additional Key storage Units (KSUs) Additional information: This requirement is for the procurement of an additional quantity of 10 Key storage Units to augment the original purchase when the Wildcat Helicopter first came in to service. These are integral elements to the VIASAT (Eclypt*600 Encrypted Drive) Secure Data Recorder for use on the Wildcat Helicopter.
