## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded a contract for the provision of Explosive Trace Detection Equipment for Aviation Security to Gozen Security. This contract falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of security equipment (CPV code: 50610000). The procurement method used was a direct, single tender action. The contract period spans from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and it focuses on the continued application of additional security measures at departure gates for UK-bound flights from Turkish airports. The contract value amounts to GBP 100,000, and the services will be reviewed for potential annual extensions. The key location for this contract is Turkey, although DfT's main office is located in London, United Kingdom (postcode SW1P 4DR).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the maintenance and provision of security equipment, particularly for large-scale operators like Gozen Security. Companies with expertise in aviation security and certified by local aviation authorities would be well-positioned to fulfil such contracts. This contract highlights the potential for long-term engagements and consecutive extensions, offering a steady stream of work and collaboration with a major governmental department. Business growth can be achieved by leveraging such high-profile contracts, allowing companies to demonstrate their proficiency in implementing critical security measures at international hubs.

## Notice

The Department for Transport requests all air carriers to apply additional security measures at departure gates of all UK-bound flights across all airports in Turkey. These measures include screening of passengers and cabin baggage by Explosive Trace Detection equipment. Since 2016, in Turkey these measures have been delivered by Gozen Security, which are authorised and licensed by the Turkish Directorate General of Civil Aviation to conduct security functions at airports. This award is for the ongoing provision to Gozen Security for the storage and liability assurance of UK DfT explosive trace detection machines in Turkey. The provision of this service will be continually reviewed and may require further 12 month extensions to continue these services. This award is for a further 12 month extension (Jan 24 - Dec 24).
