The contract titled "YAS 122 (DA Non FW) Various Simulators" falls under the industry category of goods and is specifically for simulators used in training. The procurement was carried out using a direct award method, as Limbs & Things Ltd was identified as the only suitable supplier for these simulators. The procurement has reached the contract stage, with the contract being active from 25th August 2025 to 21st August 2026. The contract has a gross value of £18,534.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in training simulators, particularly those who can offer exclusive or niche products.
