Description

The United Kingdom Royal Air Force has a requirement for a range of services to be provided at its largest UK base, located at Brize Norton. This base is home to a mixed fleet of aircraft that constitute the majority of the Air Mobility Force, and also plays host to the single Air Port of Embarkation (APOE) for the UK Armed Forces. RAF Brize Norton provides rapid global mobility, including Air to Air Refuelling (AAR), in support of operations and exercises both abroad and in the UK.

The services required under the contract include: aircraft maintenance support; off-aircraft mechanical and electrical/electronic support; airfield support and operation; motor transport operations and maintenance; logistic support services; armoury support; media & photographic services; supply services support; airport support services; fuels and lubricants; and general support. Collectively, these requirements are being addressed by the name of Initial Airport Services Contract (IASC).

These services are complementary to - and do not replace - several other UK Defence contracting arrangements coming into effect including HESTIA, HADES, Marshall, Next Generation Estates Contracting (NGEC) and Programme Gateway's (PGW) Future Airport solution, due on completion of the IASC from 2021.
