## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently seeking suppliers for the provision of Air Experience Flights at RAF Halton, with a focus on enhancing the capabilities of Service-personnel Awaiting Trade/Phase 2 Training (SATT). The procurement, categorised under flying-school services, is at the tender stage, with submissions closing on 29th November 2021. The total budget for this project is approximately £89,800, and the contract period will commence from 31st January 2022 and extend until 31st January 2025, with services to be delivered primarily in the South East of the United Kingdom.

This project represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in public sector contracting. Businesses experienced in providing aviation services or training programmes would be well-suited to compete, particularly those with a proven track record in delivering similar services within the Defence sector. The framework established allows for growth in supplier capabilities that support military training initiatives while opening avenues for innovative service delivery in the context of air experience flights.
