## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Supply Chain Notice - BAE Systems Air Sector - Supply Chain Capability Portal - Generic Request for Information." This initiative falls under the military aerospace equipment industry category and is taking place in Warton, Preston, England (postal code PR4 1AX). A key milestone for this process is the engagement end date set for 28th February 2022. The procurement method involves early market engagement, aiming to inform potential suppliers about requirements related to various system areas within the air sector.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the aerospace and defence sectors, to showcase their capabilities in areas such as Displays & Controls, Electrical Power Systems, Flight Control Systems, and more. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as the procurement is designed to foster collaboration with partners of all sizes. Companies with relevant expertise could benefit from participating in the upcoming Request for Information, which aims to align the supply chain with customer needs and support future projects.

## Notice

We operate across the globe, in multiple markets to support our customers - supporting them across the whole life cycle of the air sector - from design, development and production, through to provision of aircraft, training, support and maintenance. To achieve this we collaborate with partners large and small, from within and beyond the defence sector both from the UK and around the globe. Our international Air sector enables even greater collaboration, as we work with agility and focus in support of our customers.

Initially the Portal is capturing supply chain information in the following system areas; Displays & Controls, Electrical Power System, Flight Control System, Thermal Management, Communication Systems, Navigation, Computing and Landing Gear. If you feel your company has current or future capability to support the above system areas, we would welcome your engagement to assess your potential to participate in a generic Request for Information (RFI).
