## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, located in London, conducted a procurement process titled "The Assessment of Production Process Against ED-76B," aimed at assessing the No. 1 Aeronautical Information Documents Unit's processes for compliance with European Directive 76B. This falls under the services category with a focus on auditing services. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, and the contract was successfully awarded to Ebeni Limited, a small-to-medium enterprise based in Wiltshire, on 16 February 2026, with the contract period extending from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. This procurement process, adhering to UK legislative standards, highlighted the Ministry's strategic efforts to ensure flight safety and quality management in aeronautical information processing.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing and compliance services, particularly those familiar with aviation directives and quality management systems. SMEs, such as Ebeni Limited, demonstrated that they are well-positioned to compete effectively in such tenders, which require technical proficiency and experience in complex regulatory environments. As the contract includes an option to extend for an additional two years, businesses involved could further benefit from long-term engagement with the Ministry of Defence, enhancing their portfolio and contributing to aviation safety and management standards across the United Kingdom. This tender underscores the potential for growth and business development within the government contracting sector, encouraging entities to align their offerings with stringent compliance directives and government objectives.

## Notice

The No. 1 Aeronautical Information Documents Unit (No. 1 AIDU) is responsible for processing aeronautical information used in navigation, flight planning, terrain and obstacle awareness, and flight deck displays. This work is carried out using the latest quality management principles, as the information directly impacts flight safety. Due to the nature of the data being processed, No. 1 AIDU must comply with European Directive 76B (ED-76B), in line with standards set by the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE). Consequently, No. 1 AIDU has identified the need to assess its processes against ED-76B to maintain annual re-accreditation over a three-year period, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The tender reference is now: 715838503
