Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, issued a procurement process titled "For the Supply of Salvaged Aircraft Doors and Cockpit Glass" under the Defence category. The procurement process started on 22nd July 2025. Although the initial tender stage was set to conclude on 18th August 2025, with the award period ending by 15th September 2025, the tender was ultimately cancelled on 3rd October 2025. The process was initially organised under an open procedure with a total potential contract value of £500,000, aiming to supply these materials as part of a Defence contract qualifying under section 7(g) of the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in aeroplane salvage materials and components to collaborate with a central government authority. Companies that cater to defence and aerospace sectors, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, could have grown their business through this contract, which anticipated a potential term of three years with two additional optional extension periods. Despite the cancellation, the market potential narrows down opportunities for businesses meeting the specifications and offering competitive value-for-money solutions crucial for such specialised government contracts.
