## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process aimed at extending a framework agreement for the supply of spares, repairs, maintenance, and technical support for various in-service MOD safety equipment. This contract, valued at approximately £40.8 million, focuses on security, firefighting, police, and defence equipment under the industry category of goods. Located in the UK and specifically tailored for the Royal Navy and other Defence Aviation Environment customers, this procurement employs a limited negotiation method without the publication of a contract notice. The process culminated with the signing of the contract on 4th September 2025, ensuring continuity of service until 2027, with the possibility of further extensions. Survitec Group Ltd, given their specialist design knowledge and DAOS accreditation, has been chosen as the supplier to uphold airworthiness and safety criteria under Military Aviation Authority regulations.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in defence and safety equipment requiring OEM expertise and certified personnel authorisations. Businesses that can offer holistic services encompassing repairs, maintenance, and technical support for aviation and maritime safety equipment will find substantial avenues for expansion. The contract confirms an operational necessity and prioritises compatibility and safety, making it an exclusive opportunity for highly specialised and competent firms like Survitec. The Defence sector demands stringent compliance with technical standards, suggesting opportunities primarily for established entities with existing accreditations and capabilities to meet these rigorous requirements.
