In plain English

The Ministry of Defence is looking for a supplier to run a 5-year 'Be Seen Be Safer' high-visibility safety campaign from April 2027 to April 2032. The campaign provides high-visibility equipment to horse riders, horses, and military aircrew in areas where low-flying military helicopters operate across the UK. This is replacing an existing contract that ends in April 2032.

What the buyer wants

• Design, deliver and manage a high-visibility safety awareness campaign targeting horse riders, horses and military aircrew • Supply and distribute high-visibility equipment in helicopter low-flying areas across the UK • Maintain campaign delivery and safety initiative continuity over the full 5-year contract period

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses will be disqualified because this is a strategic 5-year Defence contract requiring substantial scale, experience delivering Defence campaigns, and established supply chains across the UK: it is not a typical SME-accessible tender despite the stated commitment to SMEs.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
