This service is classified under the industry category of 'Repair, maintenance and associated services related to aircraft, railways, roads and marine equipment,' with a contract value of £5 million. The contract period commenced on 12 December 2019 and will expire on 31 December 2020. The procurement method utilised was a direct approach through a single tender action, with key deadlines further influencing procurement actions prior to the contract award. This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies in the aviation and maintenance sectors to engage with government contracts, particularly those with capabilities in aircraft support services, maintenance, and spares provision. Businesses that specialise in aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, or those that can provide supplementary logistic support, would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future, capitalising on the established relationship with the Ministry of Defence and the potential for ongoing contracts within this sector. ## Notice The P-8A Poseidon Delivery Team placed an Interim Aircraft Support Service contract to deliver a P-8A Spares and Repairs service from February 2020, coupled with an Engine Support Service, which includes engine fleet Management and Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) capabilities. Following a VTN which was published on 10 Oct 18 outlining DE&S intent to go single source to BDUK Ltd, the Interim Aircraft Support contracted was awarded Boeing Defence UK Ltd on 12 Dec 19 for PS5M and is due to expire on 31 Dec 20. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9dab973-1671-4a91-a579-eb3ac084a7a1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 5 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Dec 2019 | | Contract period | 12 Dec 2019 - 31 Dec 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £5,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BOEING DEFENCE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50200000 - Repair, maintenance and associated services related to aircraft, railways, roads and marine equipment ## Release History - 28 Jan 2020 at 17:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9dab973-1671-4a91-a579-eb3ac084a7a1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9dab973-1671-4a91-a579-eb3ac084a7a1 28th January 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1be3877e-28ad-4c4b-8144-8df21c4a2cda - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c2eb3e82-b86a-44d8-959f-df7b33e37c11 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bd5f2145-7e92-40aa-bcfc-1943d4002ab4 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6c67152d-36e8-476c-8da3-e07942d74948 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9409ff87-cc77-41fc-8762-6ed5999992d8 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9fdba1f1-8005-40c2-a450-2169694543c0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1939fc3f-983d-4d10-a947-85c4c80d82a6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2bbc8159-c3af-4980-859a-fc9f27fcddd0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d9163412-b42e-49c2-9633-9d81879d6519 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e1965b9a-e2d3-4040-ab55-de5d34aec42c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86e29612-e26c-49de-9777-57e962cbad9c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f50c407e-8bb8-47a4-b6ac-23f555b7d6fb - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2980332b-547a-4116-ac04-a610d4505b7c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fca16478-740d-4820-a45e-0c66a841b137 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/49dad277-0d69-4f93-ad1f-096f3318ac37 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/50fd7515-f348-4652-8247-c12494e9dc52 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
