Summary of the contracting process

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is seeking bids for a tender titled "UK SBS PR16218 Aircraft Maintenance and Support Dash 7," focused on the provision of maintenance services for the British Antarctic Survey's DASH 7 aircraft. This procurement falls within the services industry category and is located in Swindon, England. The tender period is set to close on 19th January 2017, with the contract period starting from 20th February 2017 and lasting until 19th February 2021. This is an open procurement process, intended for suppliers capable of delivering heavy and line maintenance services as well as incorporating necessary modifications to the aircraft during its deployment in the Antarctic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aircraft maintenance and repair services, particularly those with experience in working with aviation regulatory requirements and scientific operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, especially if they have capabilities in providing consistent and timely maintenance support, as the aircraft needs to be operational with minimal downtime, particularly for medical evacuations during the Antarctic mission. Companies that can demonstrate previous relevant work and a robust understanding of aviation safety standards will likely have a competitive advantage in this procurement process.

Notice Title

UK SBS PR16218 Aircraft Maintenance and Support Dash 7

Notice Description

THE CLOSING DATE FOR THIS TENDER IS 19TH JANUARY 2017, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY DIRECT TO THE BUYER. This procurement is for the purchase of the Service & Maintenance Contract for the British Antarctic Survey's DASH 7 Aircraft. The DH7-110 aircraft is registered in the Falkland Islands. The oversight of maintenance is by Air Safety Support International (a wholly owned subsidiary of UK Civil Aviation Authority). The regulatory framework for Maintenance Organisations is the Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements (OTAR 145). The contracted organisation would also be responsible for Continuing Airworthiness (OTAR 39). The DASH 7 aircraft is modified with an increased MTOW of 47,000lb, auxiliary long range fuel tanks and a large forward cargo door. It has also been modified to undertake airborne science missions. The British Antarctic Survey also operates four Twin Otter (Series 300) aircraft. The contract for the DASH 7 is both for heavy maintenance at the contractors home maintenance facility and line maintenance when the aircraft is deployed. The aircraft are deployed to the Antarctic in October. It is expected that a licensed engineer will support the aircraft depending on the field programme and deployments. They will undertake support of both the UK and international science programmes from the research station at Rothera. The facilities at Rothera include a Hangar and workshop facility. The deployment of the aircraft to the Antarctic is for approximately 6 months with a return to the home maintenance facility in March for heavy maintenance. Whilst undertaking heavy maintenance the contractor will often be requested to incorporate modifications in support of operation equipment upgrades but also science requirements. The aircraft is required to be ready to support medical evacuations from Antarctica during some of the maintenance period. Accurate scheduling and completion of the maintenance is critical to allow this support, with a minimum of "down time" while undergoing maintenance, repair or modifications.
