About the buyer

The Civil Aviation Authority ensures the safety and fairness of UK aviation, and buys as a central government body with its own dedicated procurement function. Tender and quotation opportunities are listed on its e-Sourcing portal at caa.delta-esourcing.com. The portal also shows current contract end dates and supplier event dates. Suppliers register directly on the portal to see live opportunities. Procurement enquiries are handled by a dedicated team based at the authority's Gatwick headquarters. Ethical requirements for contractors are also set out alongside its wider procurement and contracts pages.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Civil Aviation Authority's contract awards have been in architectural and engineering services, software and information systems and financial and insurance services.
