The audits will ensure the provisions and Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) are being maintained. They will assess their responses and evidence to the ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) Protocol Questions (PQs) across all technical areas, as satisfactory or non-satisfactory and consequently reviewing the Corrective Action Plans produced. The audit may cover the 5 Technical Areas below, plus a review of Legislation and Organisation: - Air Worthiness - Flight Operations - Aerodromes and Ground Aids - Personnel Licensing - Air Navigation Services We are publishing this Prior Information Notice as a follow up to the Supplier Questionnaire, published 24th April 2023, to inform you that it is the DfT's intention to publish and award the procurement opportunity as one Contract (to a single supplier or consortium/subcontracting arrangement). Therefore, to be considered for contract award, a bidder must submit a response to deliver all Technical Areas across their respective Locations. For the avoidance of doubt, a bidder cannot bid for only specific Technical Areas/Locations, they must submit a response covering all or their bid will not be considered.
