Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is conducting a tender for the "Medium to fast speed Operational Readiness Training (ORT) aerial support service", a service classified under training and simulation in the defence sector. This urgent procurement aims to facilitate air-to-air and threat simulation training for the RAF, with an expected value of £100 million. The procurement is currently in the planning stage with a deadline for submitting expressions of interest set for December 13, 2021. The contract is expected to commence operations in Summer 2022, encompassing a contract period that can extend for up to three additional years.

This contracting opportunity presents significant growth potential, particularly for businesses specialising in aviation training, simulation services, and defence-related operations. Companies equipped to deliver a substantial volume of flying hours, those holding CAA or MAA accreditation, and firms that can quickly mobilise from a UK base are encouraged to participate. The focus on employing UK nationals due to security requirements further highlights the niche yet promising market for qualified contractors in this sector.
