Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Cadmium Plating Training and Associated Spares" in support of the C-17 aircraft, with the award process completed on 12th September 2024. This contract, valued at £41,700 inclusive of VAT, falls under the services category, specifically training services, and will be delivered within the UK. The initial contract runs until 31st March 2027, with potential extensions available for up to three additional years. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, due to the specialised nature of the required services and the lack of competition for technical reasons. Sifco Applied Surface Concepts (UK), the singular supplier equipped with the necessary expertise and equipment, was selected for this role.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the training and defence service sectors. Companies with expertise in specialised aircraft maintenance and training services, particularly those that can provide unique technical training and support materials, stand to benefit. The need for highly specialised equipment and training solutions suggests that businesses capable of meeting these technical criteria will find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts with the MOD and other defence organisations.
