## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is conducting the Sentry Programme Disposal procurement, which falls under the services category, specifically related to aircraft, railways, roads, and marine equipment. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract successfully awarded to Northrop Grumman UK Ltd on 5th July 2022. This contract, valued at £6,250,000, focuses on the delivery of inventory management, preparation, and disposal of aircraft equipment and inventory for the Sentry platform. The services will be delivered at RAF Waddington, and the contract includes an 18-month duration with options to break at 12 and 15 months.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in aircraft maintenance and logistics services, particularly those that can demonstrate expertise in inventory management and disposal operations. Companies with a background in defence contracts and specialised services related to aircraft or heavy equipment would be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders, as the Ministry of Defence seeks partners with relevant experience and knowledge to support their operations.

### Procurement Information

In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(b)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 due to technical reasons.
