description

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) requires a service provider to deliver gliding training in support of the Army Adventurous Training Centre (AATC) and the Joint Service Adventurous Training (JSAT) programme. Gliding is a key JSAT discipline, designed to enhance the leadership, resilience, and stress management skills of Service Personnel.

The service provider will deliver British Gliding Association (BGA)-compliant glider pilot training to meet the annual requirement of 72 course places, with the capacity to provide an additional 12 places if required. Training will be conducted between 1 May and 30 September each year at a licensed and Defence Safety Authority-certified airfield.

The provider will supply the necessary infrastructure, equipment, and resources, including serviceable aircraft, approved launching methods, retrieve vehicles, classrooms, and qualified instructors. The training must adhere to BGA regulations.

The contract will run for three years, with an option to extend for two additional years.

This initiative supports the development of operational capability within Defence by providing high-quality adventurous training opportunities.
