The Ministry of Defence, DE&S has initiated a procurement process titled "BBMF Integrated Support Programme (BISAP) - Fighters," focusing on repair, maintenance, and associated services related to aircraft. This contract targets the Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft components, aiming for a cost-effective, long-term solution. The procurement uses a selective method under a restricted procedure and falls within the services category. Located in Lincoln, United Kingdom, this award phase was completed in March 2026 and involved a contract signed with Musketeer Solutions Ltd for £32 million.
