What is being bought

Published requirement description

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

  • No preliminary market engagement: The contracting authority has a strong understanding of the market and potential suppliers, informed by previous similar requirements and comprehensive market research. A Preliminary Market Engagement notice was considered but deemed unlikely to add further value beyond what the tender notice could provide.
