## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the purchase of a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Training Engine, officially valued at £45,000. The procurement was classified under the CPV category for aircraft engines and employed a direct procurement method through a single tender action below the threshold. This specific contract was awarded on 29 March 2021, with the contract period extending from that date until 31 May 2021. The relevant delivery addresses encompass various locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, with the procurement process aimed at transparency following the contract award.

This procurement presents opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in aircraft components and maintenance, as well as manufacturers of aviation parts.
