## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, located in Bristol, is seeking to engage an independent organisation for "The Provision of Multi Engine Pilot Training" to ensure pilots obtain a Commercial Pilots Licence and Instrument Rating. This tender, classified under services and specifically in the area of training and simulation in aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft, is currently in the Tender stage and closes on 4 March 2018. The contract period spans from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2021, with a potential extension of 2 years. This procurement will follow a selective method, utilising a restricted procedure to connect with suitable suppliers.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in aviation training and simulation services. Companies that can offer accredited pilot training programmes and possibly accommodation will be particularly well-suited to compete. The annual requirement for training up to 40 students provides a stable avenue for growth within the aviation training sector, making this procurement an attractive prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in relevant sectors.

The Provision of Multi Engine Pilot Training (MEPT) shall be for up to 40 students per year. An optional requirement of accommodation throughout the duration of each course may be required.
