Tender description

Deca on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has a requirement to maintain a Remote Video Viewing Aids [RVVA] / Industrial Borescope capability, for use by Inspection, Testing and Repair Teams for aircraft maintenance and repair operations. The RVVA inventory estimated at 360 units has been rendered obsolete by the manufacturers and suppliers. Consequently, this equipment will no longer be supported post March 2026. Therefore, there is an emerging requirement to procure new replacement RVVA, together with a maintenance and training support package, in order to maintain an RVVA capability. https://contracts.mod.uk/go/90593881019E97175234
