Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured specialist aviation support for Joint Aviation Command’s Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation. The requirement covers Deputy Continuing Airworthiness Manager and Quality Manager services, supporting the management, assurance and delivery of military aircraft airworthiness activities. The work is classified as aircraft maintenance services and military aircraft repair and maintenance services, delivered across the United Kingdom. It is a defence and security services requirement led by central government. The scope includes operational management, quality management, contract management, performance management and exit management, together with social value activity. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and is intended to support Joint Aviation Command’s continuing airworthiness responsibilities rather than the supply of aircraft, equipment or parts.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Aviation Requirements Ltd was selected on 30 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £3,273,333.34 excluding VAT, or £3,928,000 gross. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two optional one-year extensions, or part-years, at the Ministry’s discretion; the maximum end date is 30 September 2031. Evaluation used a Most Advantageous Tender Value for Money Index, dividing tender cost by the non-cost quality and technical score. Quality covered service delivery, operational management, contract management, performance management, exit management and social value. Economic and technical selection requirements were assessed through the PSQ. One bid was received.

This award indicates demand for specialist military aviation airworthiness management and quality assurance capability within the Ministry of Defence. A credible future supplier would need experienced personnel able to provide Deputy Continuing Airworthiness Manager and Quality Manager functions, manage service delivery and operational performance, and support contract and exit management. Relevant technical strength includes management of a quality management system in accordance with RA 4951, and management, assurance and delivery of the nine airworthiness tasks. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate suitably qualified, experienced and properly trained personnel against Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Publication requirements. Strong competitors should be able to evidence disciplined performance reporting, quality assurance, social value delivery and fair pay practices, while meeting the Ministry’s economic and technical participation requirements.
