The contract aims to provide point-to-point flights for high-priority military personnel, ministers, and government officials within the UK and near Europe. The procurement falls under the 'Air transport services' category and is being managed through a restricted procedure. The service is expected to start on 1st December 2024 and run until 30th November 2029, with a potential extension of one additional year. The closing deadline for the tender is 15th March 2024. The services must be delivered in various locations, including the South East of the UK, with an estimated contract value ranging between £30-40 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in military air transport and maintenance services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, though voluntary community sector organisations (VCSEs) are excluded. Businesses with expertise in securing DAOS and MAOS accreditation, providing initial and continual pilot training, and ensuring readiness for up to 500 flight hours per annum are especially well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms capable of offering robust maintenance, supply chain management, and possessing necessary cybersecurity certifications will find this tender aligns well with their services, paving the way for substantial business growth through long-term government collaborations. ## Notice TBC ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71362296-2162-47fd-985c-782379243937 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2024 - 30 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
