## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the CHC/651 Common Aviation Situational Awareness (CASA) project to INZPIRE Limited. The project involves the procurement of electronic and electrical spare parts for military aerospace equipment. The contract, valued at £9,700,705.00 GBP, was signed on 30th July 2023. The procurement process was conducted through a selective and restricted procedure. The CASA project aims to upgrade various helicopters, including the Apache E-model and Chinook, with a common technical solution.

The CHC/651 CASA project offers business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in electronic and electrical spare parts for military aerospace equipment. Companies with experience in providing solutions for upgrading aviation capabilities and delivering secure and efficient communication systems would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The project's focus on enhancing situational awareness across multiple helicopter platforms presents a niche market for businesses aiming to expand their presence in the defence sector. The Ministry of Defence, as the contracting authority, seeks suppliers who can meet the security and technical requirements specified for the CASA project.
