## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract titled "ADEWS/138: Provision of In-service Support for ADWiMS DT Radomes," with a total value of £3,500,000 for technical inspection services of engineering structures. The contract, which is facilitated through a competitive procedure with negotiation, is set to begin on 7 March 2025 and conclude on 6 March 2028. The procurement process is classified under the industry category of technical inspection services, specifically focusing on ensuring safety and compliance for 23 radomes housing Air Traffic Management and Air Defence radars. The radomes are located across the UK, including the Scottish Islands, Cyprus, and the Falkland Islands.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth within the technical inspection sector, particularly for businesses specialising in safety assurance and air defence infrastructure. The contract spans multiple years, providing a stable framework for companies experienced in managing complex engineering structures across diverse geographical regions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in radome support and compliance with industry standards are well-suited to engage with or compete for similar opportunities in the future, fostering the potential to expand service offerings in defence infrastructure projects. The Ministry of Defence's emphasis on technical compliance and safety reinforces the need for specialised skills and innovation in engineering support services.
