UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Aviation Authority procured specialist services to develop a robust, scalable, data-driven artificial intelligence and machine-learning forecasting model for MOR demand. The model is intended to improve workforce planning, operational resilience, cost efficiency and service delivery. The work covers mathematical and forecasting software development, including data discovery and preparation, integration of external data, and model development, testing and validation. Delivery applies across England, covering the areas represented by the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is the Civil Aviation Authority, based in Crawley. This is a services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, CLEARPEPPER UK LIMITED, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 December 2026, with a maximum possible end date of 28 June 2027. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. Renewal is permitted for timeline or unexpected delays. Evaluation was conducted through a limited competition; the available record does not set out separate scoring criteria. The contract remains recorded as active, and the agreed delivery measures are data discovery and preparation, external data integration, and artificial intelligence and machine-learning model development, testing and validation.

This requirement indicates demand for a specialist supplier able to turn operational demand data into a reliable forecasting model that can support workforce planning and service resilience. Credible competitors would need capability in data discovery, data cleaning and preparation, external data integration, statistical or mathematical forecasting, and artificial intelligence and machine-learning development. Experience of testing and validating models would be important, as would the ability to produce a scalable solution rather than a one-off analysis. Suppliers should be able to connect technical modelling with practical operational outcomes, including efficient resource planning, cost control and service delivery. The work would suit a technically focused small or medium-sized consultancy with multidisciplinary data, modelling and implementation skills.
