## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority, in collaboration with BlueLight Commercial, is embarking on the planning phase for the BLC0292 procurement process titled "Provision of ESN Modification Design and Installation to Rotary and Fixed Wing Aircraft." This contract is classified under aircraft maintenance services and aimed at enhancing the Emergency Services Network (ESN) for various aircraft types. Interested parties must submit a Request for Information Market Engagement document by 19th September 2025. The procurement is based in Leeds, United Kingdom, and falls under the category of public authority - sub-central government services. The tender communications indicate that further notice will be issued on 3rd November 2025, with contract work expected to commence on 1st June 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aviation maintenance and installations, particularly those capable of accommodating Emergency Services Network requirements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to compete, as the contract suitability criteria support these business types. Leveraging a Government-backed procurement process, companies involved can benefit from expanding their operational capabilities and client base through engagement with a key public service entity.
