Boeing Defence UK is seeking a supplier for calibration services of aircraft Chinook and Apache derivative tooling across multiple sites in the South East of England. Potential subcontractors must submit an expression of interest by completing and returning a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ); Boeing will review EOIs, shortlist candidates and invite shortlisted suppliers to respond to a request for quotation (RFQ). Respondents who are JOSCAR members should include their member number. Boeing will carry out pre-qualification and procurement in accordance with its procurement best practices and procedures (these are not public procurement processes under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011), and will notify candidates in writing whether they proceed to the tender stage; Boeing’s decision on which candidates progress is final and cannot be appealed.

This could be suitable for calibration specialists experienced with aircraft tooling and able to provide services across multiple sites in the South East of England, particularly suppliers with JOSCAR membership. Key considerations include completing the PQQ, meeting Boeing’s procurement requirements and timelines, managing multi-site logistics, and accepting that selection decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
