Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a public procurement process, awarding a contract for the "Provision of Support for Mission Aircrew Optical Trainer (MAOT)" to JD2E Limited. This contract, valued at £33,000, covers the repair and maintenance services of military electronic systems, specifically within the East of England region. The procurement was conducted using a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication, given the specific expertise of JD2E Limited as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the MAOT. The contract period started on 15th January 2025 and will conclude on 14th January 2026. The award notice was published on 11th February 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the maintenance of military electronic systems, especially those with unique knowledge or capabilities not easily found in the broader market. The awarding of the contract to JD2E Limited highlights the importance of being an Original Equipment Manufacturer or possessing proprietary knowledge that aligns closely with the tender requirements. While this specific contract has been awarded, businesses in similar niches should stay alert for future opportunities with the Ministry of Defence, which may also require specialised repair and maintenance services.
