Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a defence and security contract titled "715746456 - Provision of Tecnam P2006T Rapid Prototyping Air Platform" awarded on 11th February 2026. This procurement involved a direct award to CFS Aeroproducts Ltd, located in Warwick, United Kingdom, with no optional periods and specific tasks authorised through Task Authorisation Forms. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, covering services within the research, testing and scientific technical simulator sector. The procurement was conducted under a non-competitive negotiated process due to specific legislative allowances as per PA 2023 section 5. The total value of the contract stands at £241,666.63, and it includes delivery addresses such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and others worldwide.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in military research and technology, particularly those with capabilities in design engineering, manufacturing, and certification work. As the contract is awarded directly, businesses with similar service offerings might consider positioning themselves for future contracts by developing niche expertise and capabilities that align with Ministry of Defence requirements. Although the contract is not directly open to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) desirability, large enterprises capable of meeting the rigorous standards of defence contracts are well-placed to explore collaborative efforts or subcontracting arrangements that align with the overall objectives of such defence projects.
