Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has issued a tender for the Fleet Helicopter Support Unit (FHSU) project. The procurement stage is active, with a tender period ending on 12th January 2024. The project involves providing a rotary wing Air System service for the Royal Navy, including point-to-point flights for military and non-military personnel. The contract has a value of £70 million and a minimum value of £50 million. The location for service delivery includes the South Coast Exercise Areas and the wider UK Flight Information Region. The procurement method is selective, and interested suppliers must complete a Dynamic Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (DPQQ) via the Defence Sourcing Portal.

This tender by the Ministry of Defence presents an opportunity for businesses capable of offering medium-lift Support Helicopter services to participate and potentially secure a contract worth millions. Companies with expertise in providing crewed rotary wing services, meeting aviation safety standards, and having the ability to deliver specific operational requirements are well-suited to compete. The successful bidder will need to be ready to commence services for specified ships from 1st April 2026, with potential for the contract to run for five years initially and up to five additional years if options are exercised.
