The procurement process employed an open procedure, primarily targeting the goods and services category, specifically air-traffic control simulation. Initially planned through various stages in 2025, the tender faced some issues leading to its cancellation as of 10th June 2026. Key dates included the original contract start date on 2nd February 2026 and an anticipated completion on 1st February 2031. Despite the cancellation, the MOD has indicated a reassessment and potential future tender notice to address the requirement with revised criteria. This tender originally drew interest from potential contractors, as it offered significant opportunities for both SMEs and larger firms experienced in creating sophisticated simulation environments. Companies offering advanced air-traffic control simulation solutions, comprehensive maintenance, and updating services would be well-positioned for future iterations of this tender. Additionally, with the MOD's focus on quality criteria such as simulation accuracy, software customisation, and environmental considerations, businesses that excel in these areas will find promising growth prospects in upcoming contract opportunities from the MOD. ## Notice The requirement is for the provision of an Air Traffic Control (ATC) synthetic training environment tool, with ongoing maintenance and software update assistance throughout Contract lifetime. The equipment is to be installed on-site by the Contractor into an office-like environment. The information in this Notice is purely for information, and no further details are available at this stage. Please do not contact the contracting authority regarding this notice. Further details will be provided in a future tender notice if the opportunity progresses. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054624-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | 1 Jul 2025 | | Award date | 21 Apr 2026 | | Contract period | 10 May 2026 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | Lots value | £3,000,000 | | Awards value | £1,766,770 | | Contracts value | £1,766,770 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active, Cancelled | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | HIGH WYCOMBE | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP14 4UE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Ridgeway West | | Westminster constituency | Mid Buckinghamshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MICRO NAV | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34962210 - Air-traffic control simulation ## Release History - 10 Jun 2026 at 09:53 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054624-2026 - 1 Jun 2026 at 13:33 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051449-2026 - 23 Apr 2026 at 08:49 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036897-2026 - 23 Apr 2026 at 08:33 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036886-2026 - 4 Dec 2025 at 16:27 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079896-2025 - 20 May 2025 at 14:42 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023387-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054624-2026 10th June 2026 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051449-2026 1st June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036897-2026 23rd April 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036886-2026 23rd April 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079896-2025 4th December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023387-2025 20th May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://contracts.mod.uk/go/74985819019AEA21CEDA - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.micronav.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
