This tender, which falls under a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure, has a total contract value of £10 million, with a minimum threshold of £4 million. The tender period is set to conclude on 19 March 2018 at 23:59, and the contract is expected to start on 1 June 2018 and run for three years, with the possibility of a two-year extension. The training location is Bristol, England, and is intended for up to 40 students per year, requiring all essential training to secure a Commercial Pilots Licence and Instrument Rating (CPL/IR). This opportunity presents a substantial growth avenue for businesses in the training and simulation sector, particularly those specialising in aviation training services. Companies equipped to meet the rigorous standards necessary for delivering pilot training programs would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the procurement process explicitly allows for their participation, thereby providing them with opportunities to expand their portfolio in the government training sector. ## Notice The Ministry of Defence must ensure that all pilots are trained to a recognised standard prior to progressing to the Operational Conversion Unit (OCU). In order to achieve this standard, the RAF requires an independent organisation to provide all essential training for the students to obtain a Commercial Pilots Licence and Instrument Rating (CPL/IR) title equivalent. The Provision of Multi Engine Pilot Training (MEPT) shall be for up to 40 students per year. An optional requirement of accommodation throughout the duration of each course may be required. This requirement is for 3 years plus 2 option years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2fd2ed9-985d-4c81-9424-a17e6a2ae697 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 19 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2018 - 31 May 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80650000 - Training and simulation in aircrafts, missiles and spacecrafts ## Release History - 19 Mar 2018 at 16:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2fd2ed9-985d-4c81-9424-a17e6a2ae697 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2fd2ed9-985d-4c81-9424-a17e6a2ae697 19th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/57a18af7-1b20-47f3-80c4-665771b32986 DEFFORM 47 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0fd80cbe-a36b-456f-83e5-be2fbc66aa57 DEFFORM 47 Annex D - Pricing Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5102f909-0d7e-48d3-8305-616d04cd1742 DEFFORM 47 Annex F - Technical Evaluation Methodology - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ba9012a6-1e72-4881-ad09-3f38588eb85b Draft Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/466d81be-a3ee-4625-a493-0ffb6a96f017 Statement of Requirement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/432c6d5b-5f54-4c13-9a14-5cbba4c2d0aa MEPT Document Pack - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/967cfa3b-0599-4f1d-9033-e029fc2fa204 Annex E to Terms & Conditions - DEFFORM 532 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/99bee02f-292c-414f-b77f-e7e88f5a99ac Estimated Timescales ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
