UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring a leased aircraft refuelling equipment solution for the Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Air Squadron at Glasgow International Airport. The requirement is a service covering aircraft refuelling equipment, including fuel-tanker trucks, bowsers, tanker trailers, refuelling trailers, semi-trailers, storage tanks and associated trailer parts. It also includes aircraft refuelling services. The solution is intended to support UGSAS operations at the airport. This is a central government requirement with delivery in the United Kingdom, and is particularly relevant to businesses that supply, lease, maintain or operate aviation fuel storage and refuelling equipment. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service areas.

The process reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 8 September 2026 at 12:00. Tenders must be submitted electronically through the Defence Sourcing Portal, for which supplier registration is free. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 2 November 2029, with two option years. The estimated value is £268,000 excluding VAT, or £335,000 including VAT. The award decision is due by 16 October 2026 at 23:59. Evaluation uses the most advantageous tender based on a value-for-money index: tender cost divided by the non-cost quality and technical score.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the requirement is marked suitable for both. Suppliers are well placed if they can provide a complete aircraft refuelling equipment solution on a lease basis, rather than only individual components. Relevant capability includes supplying or leasing tanker trucks, bowsers, tanker trailers, refuelling trailers, storage tanks and related trailer parts, together with aircraft refuelling services. Businesses should be able to address both the equipment and service aspects of supporting an operational airfield requirement. Participation requires an account on the Defence Sourcing Portal; registration is free. Tenders must be prepared in English and assessed on the balance between cost and quality or technical performance.
