UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defence Equipment and Support procured Jeppesen and ForeFlight services to support the E-7 Wedgetail AEW Mk 1, the UK’s airborne early-warning aircraft programme. The requirement covers air traffic control software services, classified under CPV 48121000, with delivery in the United Kingdom. It is a defence and security requirement managed by a central government defence procurement organisation. The work is relevant to suppliers providing aviation software, flight-planning tools, electronic navigation information or related operational support for military aircraft. The named requirement is specifically associated with the E-7 Wedgetail AEW Mk 1 and the use of Jeppesen and ForeFlight services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. It comprised one completed lot. Defence Equipment and Support awarded the contract to Jeppesen UK Limited on 14 September 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The awarded contract value is £269,557.69 gross, with a one-year contract period from 14 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation outcome reflects a direct award route rather than competitive tendering, with the requirement treated under the defence and security regime. Jeppesen UK Limited is the selected supplier.

This award indicates demand for established aviation information and flight-support software used with a military airborne early-warning platform. Competitors considering similar work for Defence Equipment and Support would need credible capability in Jeppesen and ForeFlight services, air traffic control or flight-planning software, and the integration or support of tools used by operational aircraft crews. Experience relevant to defence aviation, secure environments and the E-7 Wedgetail AEW Mk 1 would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a specialist technology provider can serve this requirement. Businesses should therefore assess their aviation software expertise, military-aircraft support record, ability to operate in defence and security settings, and capacity to maintain dependable UK delivery.
