Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has initiated a tender process for providing Ground Support Equipment Maintenance and Support on a Global Basis for the RAF Voyager A330. This service contract, valued at £800,000, falls under the industry category of Aircraft Maintenance Services and will be based predominantly at RAF Brize Norton, with potential support required at multiple global locations. The procurement process is currently at the "Tender" stage, with a submission deadline of 25 October 2024 and a subsequent invitation date for the second stage set for 2 December 2024. Notably, the contract will span from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028 with the possibility of two one-year extensions.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in aircraft maintenance and repair services, particularly those experienced in military aviation support. Companies equipped to handle simultaneous global deployments and those capable of managing subcontracting effectively will find this tender particularly appealing. The selective procurement method ensures a competitive but restricted process, favouring entities that meet the stringent suitability and technical criteria outlined in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Subcontractors will also play a vital role, as detailed requirements for subcontractor involvement and selection must be adhered to during the contract execution.
