    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence seeks a contractor to provide qualified and experienced personnel to support aviation engineering, logistics, airworthiness, supply chain, and administrative functions at RAF Odiham, RAF Benson, and RNAS Yeovilton. The contractor will supplement military staff to sustain Support Helicopter Force (SHF) and Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) operations, including aircraft maintenance, logistics resilience, airworthiness assurance, and mission readiness. This is an output-based contract with flexible staffing requirements that responds to variable operational demand, flying schedules, maintenance cycles, and readiness commitments. The contractor must be capable of adapting to changing workload priorities across multiple locations and functions. Workload volumes are variable and not guaranteed; staffing levels will be adjusted based on operational requirements rather than fixed positions. The contractor will enable the Defence authority to allocate limited engineering and logistics resources efficiently against dynamic operational priorities.
