Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), a central government public authority, centres around the "ACCOMM2C/7079 - Contract for the supply of spares, repairs and calibration of components for Aircraft and Ground Support Equipment." This process primarily involves services related to the repair and maintenance of vehicles and related equipment in the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is a direct award to Kellogg, Brown & Root Ltd, ensuring continuity and compatibility with existing equipment due to technical and operational constraints. The extension of this contract was signed on 12th June 2026, with the contract start date adjusted to 14th June 2026 due to initial publication errors. The contract, valued at £666,666.68 excluding VAT, is active from 14th June 2026 to 13th March 2027, with a possible one-year extension until 2028.

This tender provides business growth opportunities mainly for large-scale enterprises with expertise in the aerospace and defence sectors, particularly those specialising in the repair and calibration of aircraft and ground support components. The direct award highlights the critical need for technical expertise and precise interoperability with existing systems, positioning Kellogg, Brown & Root Ltd as the most suitable supplier owing to their established capabilities in the sector. While the opportunity is bespoke due to specific requirements, engaging in such contracts can offer substantial revenue potential and visibility in defence logistics, solidifying a business’s status as a key player in high-stakes government projects.

Notice Title

ACCOMM2C/7079 - Contract for the supply of spares, repairs and calibration of components for Aircraft and Ground Support Equipment

Notice Description

Extension (1 + 1 option year) to Contract ACCOMM2C/7079 with Kellogg, Brown & Root Limited for the Supply of Spares, Repairs, Calibration of components for Aircraft and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Refuelling Vehicles. Please note that the dates published in the UK 6 - Contract Award Notice as the date the extension was signed (26/6/2026) and the Contract Start Date (27/6/2026) were incorrect due to technical difficulties with DSP. The extension was signed on 12/6/2026 and the Contract Start Date was 14/6/2026.

Procurement Information

It is considered that a Direct Award is permissible under the Act on the basis that repeat goods and services can only be provided by the Contractor as a change in supplier would result in the Authority receiving goods and services that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods and services, and the differences/incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. This is due to a lack of requisite knowhow by alternative suppliers and a lack of sufficient technical understanding of the vehicles/equipment for such an alternative supplier to feasibly be able to be brought up to speed within the timescales required by the Authority. Accordingly, the Contractor is considered as the only supplier that can continue to provide the goods and services and there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods and services as required by the Authority, within the requisite timeframe.
