Summary of the contracting process

UHI Perth is procuring specialist training services to deliver the Part 66 component of its BSc (Hons) Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Management course. The appointed contractor or contractors will provide BSc aircraft engineering delivery through a suitably qualified and accredited training provider, meeting recognised standards and supporting learners to achieve the required qualification. This is a higher education and specialist aircraft engineering training requirement, rather than aircraft maintenance work itself. Delivery is at UHI Perth in Perth, Scotland. The buying organisation is UHI Perth, which is also identified as a central purchasing body. The requirement is arranged as one lot and is intended to support the educational delivery of the aircraft engineering degree.

The process has reached tender: UHI Perth invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, with submissions to be made electronically in English. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 5 October 2026 at 12:00 BST; bids are scheduled to be opened at the same time, with evaluation beginning then. The estimated contract value is £500,000. The contract period is 1,440 days, and the requirement may be re-tendered in future depending on business needs. Offers will be evaluated on technical quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Suppliers must complete the suitability, economic and technical requirements in the SPD, and variants are not allowed. Electronic ordering and payment apply, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits an established aviation or aircraft engineering training provider with the qualifications, accreditations and specialist teaching capability needed to deliver Part 66 training within a university degree programme. Bidders should be able to demonstrate compliance with recognised standards, support learners through the required qualification, and provide suitably qualified personnel; staff names and professional qualifications must be supplied. The selection requirements cover supplier suitability, economic standing and technical capability through the SPD, so the opportunity is best suited to organisations with the capacity and evidence to satisfy all three areas. The contract also includes community benefits, including employment and recruitment, apprenticeships or other new workforce entrants, skills and training opportunities, community engagement, and wider economic, social or environmental wellbeing.
