## Summary

The public procurement process involves a tender titled "Historic England Aircraft Operations at Oxford Airport" initiated by HISTORIC ENGLAND LIMITED. This tender falls under the aviation industry category (CPV code: 09131000) and is currently in the planning stage. The engagement end date for this tender is set for 31st March 2023. The buying organisation, based in Swindon, England, requires services related to aviation kerosene, aircraft maintenance, engine maintenance, refuelling, and hangar services at Oxford Airport (postal code: SN2 2EH).

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in aviation services and aircraft-related maintenance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete as the suitability criteria specify SMEs as preferred suppliers. Businesses offering aircraft and spacecraft services, aircraft refuelling, hangar services, and aircraft maintenance services can benefit from bidding for this contract. The estimated maximum cost will vary depending on factors such as fuel expenses and operational requirements, with potential growth prospects for successful bidders.

## Notice

For operational reasons Historic England bases its aerial survey aircraft at Oxford airport. These operational reasons include ideally located in a central part of southern England for survey flights, air traffic control cover during daylight hours, has secure hangarage, full time fire cover and access to aviation support services. Consequently, we have no option but to use the services provided by Oxford airport including aviation fuel, parking, hangarage, touch 'n' goes, landings and de-icing. The value is an estimated maximum cost and is likely to be an overestimate. The costs will fluctuate from year to year based on the costs of fuel and the amount of flying that HE aerial survey team can complete given the weather conditions. This contract should be linked to the In-Tend contract for the HE aircraft P/REF 00000017.
