Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Aviation Authority procured professional consultancy support to review and assess NERL’s Resilience Plan, including production of a final report. The work is classified as financial consultancy services and concerns resilience planning for the UK air navigation environment. The buyer is the Civil Aviation Authority, based in Crawley. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was focused on an independent assessment rather than routine operational support, with the successful supplier engaged to provide review and evaluation expertise. This is relevant to consultancies with experience in financial or economic advice, resilience planning, regulated aviation or other safety-critical infrastructure, and the preparation of formal evidence-based reports for public bodies.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Helios Technology Limited T/A Egis. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 for £42,050 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract associated with it are recorded as active. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, through a mini-competition under the Civil Aviation Authority’s Economic Consultancy Service Framework (3634), in accordance with the framework rules and the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Three bids were received. Price was the stated award criterion. The arrangement included an option for a further three months.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Civil Aviation Authority for independent consultancy on resilience plans and final reporting. A credible future competitor would need to assess a complex resilience plan objectively, identify weaknesses and risks, and turn findings into a clear, defensible final report. Useful capability includes financial or economic consultancy, structured analysis, evidence gathering, and communicating conclusions to a public regulator. Experience of aviation, air navigation, safety-critical infrastructure or other highly regulated environments would help suppliers understand the operational and assurance context. The route to market also matters: the requirement was competed through an established Economic Consultancy Service Framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to understand framework access and mini-competition procedures.
