This contract falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of aircraft engines (CPV code: 50211210). The procurement method was limited, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice, due to the necessity to protect exclusive rights.

The award was made on 14 January 2025, and the contract carries a total value of 923,000 GHS.

The procurement underscores the importance of proprietary rights and technical capability, creating a niche but essential market for specialised maintenance services.
