Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Aviation Authority bought financial consultancy services to assess NERL’s proposed operating and capital expenditure. The work also covered developing suitable incentives to improve capital investment efficiency, prioritisation and delivery. This is specialist economic and financial advisory work for the aviation sector, rather than general accountancy or routine finance support. Delivery was across the United Kingdom. The requirement was managed by the Civil Aviation Authority, a public aviation regulator. It was arranged as a single requirement, covering the review of NERL’s expenditure proposals and the design of associated investment incentives. Suppliers with experience advising regulated infrastructure operators, assessing expenditure plans and designing performance or investment incentives would be aligned with the subject matter.

The procurement has been completed and an active award was made to Helios Technology Limited trading as Egis. The contract was signed on 30 April 2026. The procurement used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a competition under the CAA Economic Consultancy Service Framework 3634. Four bids were recorded. Price was the award criterion. The lowest valid bid was £178,150 and the highest was £1,700,000; these are bid values, not the awarded contract value. The requirement included options described as three successive six-month periods, stated as 6 months + 6 months + 6 months. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender record identifies the requirement’s lot as cancelled, while the award is recorded as active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Civil Aviation Authority for specialist advisers able to scrutinise a regulated aviation operator’s operating and capital expenditure, test whether investment is efficient and properly prioritised, and develop incentives that support delivery. A credible future competitor would need strong financial and economic consultancy capability, experience analysing complex infrastructure or network businesses, and the ability to turn expenditure assessments into practical regulatory or commercial incentives. Relevant teams would combine financial modelling, capital programme review, economic regulation and stakeholder advice, with a clear understanding of aviation or similarly regulated sectors. The use of a competition under the CAA’s economic consultancy framework also indicates that suppliers seeking comparable work would benefit from experience operating through public-sector professional services frameworks and delivering concise, evidence-based advice to a regulator.
