Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) involves the Apache IOS Data Enabling Agreement, classified under the industry category of repair, maintenance, and associated services related to aircraft and other equipment. The procurement is based in Yeovil, within the UKK23 region. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 6th October 2025. This was a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, due to technical reasons where Leonardo UK Ltd is the only economic operator capable of providing the necessary services for the Apache Mk1 helicopter.

This tender creates business growth opportunities by providing specialised technical services essential to the defence sector. It is particularly well-suited for large-scale enterprises with the necessary expertise and capability in handling complex technical specifications related to aircraft equipment. With Leonardo UK Ltd being the sole supplier due to their unique possession of required technical data, businesses with similar unique capabilities could find analogous opportunities if they possess comparable proprietary knowledge or technology in other defence or technical sectors.
