## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Ministry of Defence's Combat Air, specifically the UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) Project Team. The contract, titled "The provision of In Service Support for Hawk T Mk1/1a aircraft", falls under the category of aircraft maintenance services and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method used is limited, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice, and the contract extension covers the period from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022. The contract was awarded on 21st January 2021 with a total value of £20 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in aircraft maintenance and support services, particularly those with specialised capabilities in handling specific military aircraft such as the Hawk T Mk1/1a. Given that BAE Systems is currently the only supplier capable of fulfilling this contract due to its long-standing role as the OEM, this scenario may pave the way for businesses with complementary skills in subcontracting, maintenance, or technical support to engage with BAE Systems for potential partnership or subcontracting agreements, thereby facilitating growth and collaborative opportunities in the defence sector.
