Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Yeovil, England, has completed a procurement process for the project regarding the new Wildcat Main Rotor Head Disc. This contract award is part of the larger Joint Modification Contracting Arrangement (JMCA) Framework. The industry category is helicopters, specifically focusing on services, with a delivery location in the South West of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract having started on 25th June 2025 and scheduled to end on 31st December 2027. Leonardo UK Limited, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded the contract valued at £352,504. The procurement method employed was selective call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale businesses specialising in aerospace and defence services, such as helicopter manufacturing and modification. Companies that are equipped with the capability to support complex defence projects and possess strong expertise in rotorcraft components are well-suited to compete in similar procurements. With the value of such contracts and their strategic significance, engaging in these opportunities can solidify a supplier's position within the defence supply chain and can potentially lead to further projects through framework agreements with the Ministry of Defence.
