## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to procure 250 David Clark One-XM Headsets along with associated spares, with an awarded contract value of £420,000. The procurement process classified under the goods category is currently in the award stage, having recently concluded after a selective tendering method that followed a restricted procedure. The initial tender period ended on 21st October 2020, while the contract duration extends from 17th November 2020 to 30th November 2023, with the contract signed on 17th November 2020. The headsets are intended for use with C17 Aircraft and delivery is expected at the designated address in Oxfordshire.

This opportunity presents a substantial potential for businesses, particularly those involved in manufacturing or supplying aerospace equipment and accessories. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to produce high-quality headsets, along with the necessary spares, would find this tender particularly suited to their offerings. Additionally, businesses that have previously supplied to defence departments or those familiar with the regulatory requirements of public contracts are likely to excel in this competitive environment.
