Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, specifically its Helicopters division, has initiated a tender for the "Gazelle Interim Depth Support" to maintain its Gazelle fleet. This procurement falls under the category of helicopter maintenance services, with an estimated contract value of £5,000,000 and a minimum contract value of £500,000. The procurement method is a selective procedure, and the tender period is set to close on 3rd September 2017. The services will be required for a contract period starting from 2nd January 2018 to 2nd January 2019, to be conducted in Bristol, South West of the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aircraft maintenance, repair services, and associated support roles, particularly those qualified to undertake work on military helicopters. Companies that provide facilities capable of performing depth maintenance and are MAOS accredited for Gazelle AH Mk1 helicopters would be particularly well-suited to bid. Additionally, having trained pilots available for flight tests could enhance a contractor's bid competitiveness, offering a chance for growth in a niche market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Gazelle Interim Depth Support

Notice Description

UK MOD has a requirement to provide Interim Depth Support (both on and off aircraft work) to its existing Gazelle fleet for a period of 12-15 months with the potential option of providing depth support for an additional 1-2 years. The scope of the work is expected to be 2 Major, 3 B5 and 8 B4 maintenance packages during the period, although exact numbers may be subject to change. The depth events may include some additional supplementary work, such as the embodiment of minor modifications. Timely delivery will be an important consideration. The contractor must be MAOS accredited for Depth Maintenance of Gazelle AH Mk1 Helicopter. The Authority's preference is that the Contractor supply their own trained pilot to undertake any Flight Tests. However the Authority will consider bids that request that the Authority supply a trained pilot. Please note that this work is undertaken by the Multi-Aircraft Platform Support Unit (MPSU) at Middle Wallop via a Contract between the Authority and Cobham that expires on 31st March 2018. Any replacement Contract is likely to have implications under Transfer of Undertaking (Protection for Employment) (TUPE). Furthermore, as the current MPSU facility at Middle Wallop is unavailable, the Contractor must supply their own facility to carry out the work under this contract. Further details, relating to the above information, will be provided as part of any ITT resulting from this enquiry.
