## Summary

The procurement process titled "Merlin and Apache AH Mk1 Engine Support" is managed by the DEFENCE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT, based in Yeovil, England. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on technical support and maintenance for military helicopter engines.
