The procurement, which follows a selective method under a restricted procedure, is currently in the tender stage and is set to close on 25 March 2020. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 30 June 2020 and continue until 29 December 2024, with a total estimated value of £28 million, which includes a minimum value of £20 million. The services will be delivered primarily at RAF Odiham and RAF Benson, located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aircraft repair and maintenance, particularly for those with experience in providing engineering, logistic, administrative, and training support services. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive technical support for both the Chinook and Puma forces, especially those with the capacity to manage complex operational demands, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with the subcontracting opportunities could also benefit smaller entities looking to expand their footprint in the defence sector. ## Notice This is a notice to meet the Government's Transparency Agenda commitments.
