Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about aerospace, aviation, aircraft in the UK public sector.
What counts as an aerospace tender?
Aircraft and helicopter maintenance, avionics and airworthiness services, aircraft parts and components, airfield and apron construction, and aviation support services such as de-icing, refuelling and aircrew equipment. Most on Stotles come from the Ministry of Defence, the Irish Air Corps, and airport authorities, plus universities running aerospace engineering research.
Who buys aerospace and aviation contracts in the UK and Ireland?
The Ministry of Defence is the largest single buyer, covering fixed-wing and rotary fleets from Chinook to F-35 support work. The Irish Defence Forces and Irish Air Corps run their own aircraft modernisation and maintenance procurements. Civil airports and universities add contracts for airfield infrastructure, aerospace research equipment and training.
What CPV codes cover aerospace procurement?
Aerospace maps to CPV codes 34700000 (Aircraft and spacecraft), 50211100 (Aircraft maintenance services) and 50212000 (Repair and maintenance services of helicopters), among others. On Stotles, search by keyword rather than CPV code alone: codes are recorded on individual notices but a filter built on keywords catches more of the on-intent contracts, since not every aerospace notice carries an aerospace-specific CPV code.
How do I find open aerospace and aviation tenders?
Search live and awarded aerospace tenders on Stotles, filtered by buyer, region or contract stage. Frameworks are a common route in, particularly for aircraft component support and maintenance programmes run on a power-by-the-hour basis, so tracking the buyer's procurement pipeline ahead of a formal tender can be as useful as watching for the notice itself.
