Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence, which is seeking to contract the UKMFTS and FWMAS CAAi Oversight Services. This contract falls under the industry category of "services" specifically related to the testing and evaluation of military aircrafts, missiles, and spacecrafts. The procurement method used is a limited procedure called "Negotiated without publication of a contract notice," indicating a single-source procurement to CAA International Limited, the sole provider for this requirement. The contract is active, with a total value of £1,800,000 and a duration spanning five years from 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2026, focusing on oversight for various military flying training systems. The delivery will take place at Aviation House, Crawley, West Sussex.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in providing specialized services within the aviation and military sectors, particularly for those companies capable of delivering oversight and compliance services related to aircraft and training systems. With the Ministry of Defence as the buyer, businesses that have experience in governmental contracts or those that can demonstrate relevant technical expertise and qualifications in aviation safety and management would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Expanding relationships with key stakeholders in the defence industry may also facilitate growth and access to further contracting opportunities.
