## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the support of the Health Usage & Monitoring System (HUMS) on Wildcat and Chinook Aircraft. This contract is classified under the helicopters industry category and involves repair, maintenance, and post-design services. The procurement process was conducted using a limited negotiation procedure without prior publication and is valued at £5,441,210.68. The contract period runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The contracting authority, located in Yeovil, England, finalised this award on 11th March 2025, with a formal announcement on 30th April 2025. The project is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for large businesses with expertise in aerospace services and technologies, particularly those specialising in helicopter systems maintenance. Companies with experience in providing technical support services to defence-related projects could benefit from substantial growth potential through projects of this scale. However, given the nature of the procurement method and the pre-selected negotiation approach, opportunities for smaller enterprises or new entrants might be limited unless they can engage as subcontractors under the primary contract holder, GE Aerospace Ltd.
