## Summary

The contracting process was executed under the Joint Modification Contracting Arrangement framework with Document Number 700630373. The procurement, valued at £23,612, was initiated using a selective procurement method as a call-off from an existing framework agreement, specifically within the services sector for helicopters. The contract covers the period from 29 April 2025 to 31 July 2025, with the project delivery located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This process reached the award stage on 29 April 2025, as indicated in the published notice dated 17 July 2025.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for large-scale enterprises, particularly those with capabilities in the aerospace and defence sectors. Leonardo UK Limited, a large company, has been awarded the contract, showcasing the potential for similar businesses experienced in working with defence supply chains to benefit from such structured framework arrangements. Companies adept at fulfilling complex technical contracts within short timeframes could find comparable opportunities in subsequent framework agreements initiated by the Ministry of Defence. Although this particular procurement was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, it reinforces the importance of establishing framework participation for securing public sector contracts.
