## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has concluded a contract for services in the aircraft-operation industry category. The contract, titled "Advancement and De-risking Activities for EO/IR DAS," involves defence services and is being executed within the United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out through a limited method, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice. Key dates include the contract signing on 19 December 2024, with the contract period extending over 360 days. The awarded contract, valued at £16,081,152 GBP, has been given to Leonardo UK, with subcontracting arrangements outlined.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aircraft-operation services, especially those with capabilities in defence services. Companies with experience in electronic optical and infrared defensive aid systems (EO/IR DAS) and those skilled at negotiating contracts without advertised opportunities will find this contract particularly advantageous. With the MOD as the contracting authority, businesses can benefit from stable, high-value contracts, and the presence of subcontracting provisions enables smaller firms to participate as well. Interested suppliers should stay connected with MOD procurement plans for future opportunities.
