## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the study titled "FCAS Skills Demand and Skills Development Analysis". The study aims to address challenges and opportunities for combat air skills development within the UK Defence sector. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value is GBP 282,178.64, with a contract period from January 12, 2024, to August 9, 2024. The study is focused on market-testing services and is located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses, especially those offering market-testing services related to combat air skills development. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited for this opportunity. The Ministry of Defence, as the buying organisation, is seeking expertise to inform FCAS policy and direction. With a contract period spanning several months, businesses can engage in a significant project that contributes to the development and sustainability of combat air skills within the UK Defence sector.

## Notice

This study will cover challenges and opportunities for development, growth and sustainment of combat air skills across UK Defence. It will build on a study commissioned in 2018 but is now deemed outdated and unreliable to inform FCAS policy and direction.
