Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Technical and Logistic Support Services" was initiated by Defence Equipment and Support, a central government public authority based in Bristol, United Kingdom. The contract pertains to services within the defence and security industry, specifically supporting Typhoon Main Operating Bases at RAF Coningsby and RAF Lossiemouth. The process employed an open procedure, as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023, with the award stage recently completed on 10th October 2025. The contract was awarded to SERCO Limited, following an initial tender completion on 8th September 2025, and will run from 1st October 2025 until 31st March 2030, with a possible one-year extension. The total value of the contract, above threshold, was set at £9,105,646 (gross amount). Key addresses are located in Bristol and Hook, with the procurement handling requirements such as SQEP Technicians Availability and Satisfaction of EJ200 Demands.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale businesses involved in technical and logistic support services, particularly those experienced in defence and security sectors. With an emphasis on providing repair and maintenance services for aircraft engines, the contract suits companies capable of mobilising and managing resources for high-security environments. Additionally, the focus on social value metrics, such as the MAC4.2 and MAC7.2 measures, means firms committed to corporate social responsibility stand to enhance their profiles and contribute to broader societal goals. SMEs may find it challenging to meet the project demands without sufficient scale or defence sector exposure; however, opportunities for consortiums or partnerships could enable broader market participation.
