## Summary

The procurement process involves a contract awarded by the Ministry of Defence for "Technical Support to the HQ Air Command Qatar Programme Office." This project falls under the category of project management consultancy services and is based in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £1,001,482, is currently in the Award stage, having been officially awarded on 22 May 2021, with a contract period from 1 June 2021 to 1 June 2022. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period having closed on 5 May 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the field of project management consultancy, particularly those specialising in air capability technical support and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that possess relevant expertise in complex project environments would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, especially those that support defence operations. The nature of the work at the Qatar Air Programme Office, which seeks advanced technical knowledge and experienced resources, indicates a preference for firms that can demonstrate both capability and experience in high-stakes military programmes.

## Notice

The Qatar Air Programme Office (QAPO) resides within HQ Air Command and requires programme and project support to facilitate the delivery of the MoD elements of the Qatar Typhoon, Hawk and Air to Air Refuelling service (AAR) Programmes and the development of further UK/Qatar collaboration opportunities. The activities of the programme office are considered both novel and contentious with the MoD acting as a supplier and customer friend on behalf of the Qatari Armed Forces. Due to the nature of the portfolio and the complexities of the platform force elements the QAPO require a broad range of air capability technical knowledgeable and experienced resource.
