UK delays tender process for Puma helicopter replacement

21 October 2022

However, under a revised timeline,
the MoD is now not expected to issue invitations to negotiate
– essentially the precise requirements for the programme –
to manufacturers until the first quarter of 2023,
according to two sources familiar with the matter.

NH Industries is also a potential candidate with its NH90 helicopter.
It is understood to have responded to the DPQQ despite the presence of shareholders Airbus and Leonardo in the contest.

But the Puma has been selected to take over the operations in Brunei and Cyprus on a temporary basis,
potentially extending the HC2’s retirement date to 2027,
one source has suggested.
