## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is seeking to extend its existing contract with Petards Joyce-Loebl for the through-life support of ALE 47 and M147 Counter Measure Dispensing Systems (CMDS), particularly for aircraft platforms such as Chinook, C-130, Puma, and Merlin. This procurement, categorised under repair and maintenance services, is currently in the Award stage, with an estimated contract extension value of £153,866.96 for an additional three months starting from 1st July 2022. The procurement method used is a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice, in accordance with UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations.

This contract presents significant opportunities for suppliers, particularly those specialising in aerospace maintenance and support services, as well as businesses engaged in military technology and defence systems. Companies familiar with the specific requirements of Counter Measure Dispensing Systems and those capable of providing specialised repair and maintenance services would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts within this arena. Engaging in this tender could help such businesses expand their portfolio in the defence sector and establish long-term relationships with the MOD.
