The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence, which is seeking to acquire helicopters under the title "Procurement of Aircraft". This falls under the goods category within the aircraft industry, specifically focusing on helicopters as denoted by the CPV classification. The procurement method utilised is limited, involving a negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice due to the unique specifications required.
