Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the Hawk T1 Aircrew Ground and Synthetic Training Service to BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited. The procurement process was for services in the category of training and simulation in aircraft, missiles, and spacecrafts. The contract, valued at £18,500,000 GBP, was signed on 5th October 2022. The procurement method used was a Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication due to technical reasons, as BAE Systems are the only companies with access to the necessary technical information for this specific training service.

This contract award presents business opportunities for firms specialised in providing high-fidelity synthetic training services for aircraft operations. Companies with expertise in developing training devices and services related to aviation simulation are well-suited to compete. The contract aims to ensure that the RAF has suitably trained staff for safe and efficient operational delivery.

Procurement Information

It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) for technical reasons. This is because BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd and their subsidiaries are the only companies to have access to the Hawk TMk1 aircraft data packs and other technical information in order to supply the Authority with an accurate replica of the Hawk T Mk1 aircraft for the use of synthetic training for all RAF user groups. The UK RAF require use of high-fidelity synthetic training devices to ensure suitably trained staff for safe, effective and efficient operational delivery. Therefore, for reasons of safety to life and data access restrictions, the Authority intend to enter into contractual negotiations for the delivery of a UK Hawk T1 Aircrew Ground and Synthetic Training Service for all Hawk User Groups.
