Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Support for Mission Aircrew Optical Trainer (MAOT)". The contract involves repair and maintenance services for military electronic systems, specifically providing ad-hoc on-site support for a Synthetic Training Aid at RAFC Cranwell, located in the United Kingdom (region UKJ1). The tender, classified under CPV code 50660000, utilised a limited procurement method due to its value being under the threshold for central government procurements, and the need for specialised support from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The contract was awarded on 15th January 2025 to JD2E Limited for a total value of £33,000.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in the maintenance and support of military electronic systems, particularly those with expertise in synthetic training aids. Businesses that are already proficient in handling advanced military training equipment and have a track record of providing cost-effective solutions would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. This specific contract highlights the importance of building good relationships with governmental bodies and the value of being an OEM or maintaining niche specialisations in defence-related technologies.
