Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured specialist support for the Joint Aviation Command’s Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation to conduct Military Airworthiness Reviews of aircraft. This is a UK-wide service requirement in the military aviation and aircraft maintenance field. The work centres on reviewing military aircraft airworthiness; the procurement also classifies the requirement under repair and maintenance services for military aircraft.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tandem Solutions Limited. The award date was 8 October 2026. The award is £2,300,047 excluding VAT (£2,760,056.40 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two one-year renewal options, or part thereof, potentially extending it to 31 March 2032. The Ministry used an open procedure. Bids were due by 13 July 2026, and the evaluation was based on price per quality score. The single lot was marked as suitable for SMEs; five bids were received, including three from SMEs.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future military airworthiness review requirement, credible experience in continuing airworthiness management and conducting Military Airworthiness Reviews would be central. The scope is specialist support for Joint Aviation Command aircraft, so relevant military aviation and aircraft maintenance capability is important. The contract demonstrates that the Ministry of Defence awarded this work to an SME, and the lot was considered suitable for SMEs; three SME bids reached the final stage. A prospective competitor would need to demonstrate the technical quality of its review service alongside a competitive price, since evaluation combined price and quality. The work is UK-wide and requires capacity to support the buyer’s military aviation operation.
