## Summary

The Defence Equipment and Support organisation in Bristol, part of the UK's central government, is planning a direct procurement process for the provision of in-service support for hydraulic test equipment. The contract title is "714907462 - Provision of In-Service Support for Hydraulic Test Equipment," and it falls under the 'services' category with additional procurement categories for goods. The industry classification focuses on repair and maintenance services. The procurement is currently in the planning stage and is classified under a special regime for public procurement relating to defence and security. A pipeline notice was published on 11th August 2025, with the planned procurement process set to start on 30th April 2026 and potentially extend until 30th April 2031.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those that can supply, repair, and manage hydraulic servicing equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this to be a suitable opportunity, given the specific equipment support required for military aviation components including rotary wings and historic aircraft. The direct award methodology allows for a streamlined procurement process, which can benefit businesses capable of meeting detailed specifications promptly. Organisations aiming to expand their footprint in the defence sector may particularly benefit from the long contract duration and potential for renewal.

## Notice

Support and spares for a range of mobile Hydraulic Servicing Equipment (HSE) used in the maintenance of multiple rotary wing, Hawk and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) and their associated components through an In-Service Support (ISS) contract. This will include ad hoc tasking, spares supply, repair services, programme and obsolescence management.
