Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "TAVI3143 - Hensoldt Reader" was conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc) in England. The category of the tender falls under "Aircraft maintenance services" with a specific focus on acquiring a Hensoldt Accident Investigation Authority Read-Out Kit for SferiRec flight recorders. The procurement method employed was 'direct', and it was classified as a single tender action below threshold, indicating a more streamlined process. This process concluded with the award phase on 23rd October 2024, following the tender period that ended on 10th October 2024. The agreed contract period spans from 23rd October 2024 to 31st December 2024. The services will be delivered in various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a substantial business opportunity particularly for major aerospace industry players with capabilities in advanced aircraft maintenance services. As the contract was awarded to Hensoldt Sensors, a large-scale supplier based in Germany, potential competitors for similar future tenders would likely include large corporations with experience in producing or supplying sophisticated aviation investigation and analysis equipment. Although the opportunity for SMEs was not prioritised in this tender, businesses looking to expand their portfolio in aviation safety solutions could benefit significantly from engaging in similar procurement activities within the industry.
