Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured support and maintenance services for digital air traffic management equipment used at RNAS Culdrose and Predannack. The requirement is intended to sustain the operation and availability of this specialist equipment rather than to purchase general construction or engineering works. The procurement is classified under towers, although the stated requirement is for ongoing digital ATM equipment support and maintenance. Delivery locations are identified in Portsmouth and the South East of England, with the buyer’s address at Whale Island, Portsmouth. This is a defence-sector requirement for a supplier able to support operational air traffic management infrastructure and associated digital systems at naval air stations.

The procurement has been awarded following an above-threshold open procedure. The contract was awarded to SAAB Air Traffic Management AB on 14 August 2025 for £133,810 including the stated currency of GBP. The wider estimated procurement value is £542,286, with a stated minimum value of £133,810. The contract period runs from 14 August 2025 to 31 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2025 at 10:00 BST. The process is complete and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement concerns services and was managed by the Ministry of Defence.

This award demonstrates a Ministry of Defence requirement for specialist digital air traffic management equipment support and maintenance in a naval aviation environment. Suppliers considering future requirements of this type would need demonstrable capability in maintaining digital ATM systems, diagnosing faults, preserving system availability and supporting equipment across operational defence locations. Relevant experience with air traffic management infrastructure, safety-critical technical services and the requirements of military air stations would strengthen credibility. The successful supplier is a large specialist ATM business, indicating that substantial technical expertise and established delivery capacity are important, although the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses with complementary engineering, systems support or defence-sector experience may therefore be relevant.
