The Authority requires a Surface Finish (SF) capability to support Air Systems in the Project URD. This capability is essential to ensure the continued airworthiness of these Air Systems, as mandated by the relevant Platform Engineering Authorities. Additionally, the Authority requires an SF capability for Mechanical Transport (MT) and Aircraft Ground Support Equipment (GSE) collectively called ASE to support corrosion control and visual signature management in line with current policies. The SF capability will also be required to deliver miscellaneous station support tasks, such as the production of signage and other station workshop outputs. This capability must be readily accessible to all RAF stations across the UK and to UK Strategic Command (UKStratCom) Permanent Joint Operating Bases (PJOBs) overseas.

| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aircraft and spacecraft, Military aircrafts, Repair, maintenance and associated services related to aircraft and other equipment, Aircraft repair services, Spray guns, Spraying equipment, Spray booths, Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying, Parts of spraying machines, Metal-spraying machinery, Painting and glazing work | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Aircraft and spacecraft (34700000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 34 | 4,559 | 3 median · 24 average (1,842 of 4,559 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (2,057 of 4,559 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 36 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 1,050 | 4 median · 58.8 average (375 of 1,050 with a bid count) | 5.5 average (436 of 1,050 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 129 | 2 median · 2.3 average (3 of 129 with a bid count) | 1 average (3 of 129 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
