Aerospace Tenders

The aerospace industry has experienced strong growth in recent years, and this is expected to continue. Opportunities in the sector have been led by growing commercial aircraft production and strong defence spending.

Other factors are leading to an increase in spending within the wider defence market, including heightened global tensions and NATO’s recommendation that member states spend a minimum of 2% of GDP on defence.

Beyond the UK and USA, regional powers such as China, India and Japan are also predicted to drive global defence sector growth in the coming years. This strong investment in defence on a global scale suggests that there will be many opportunities for defence suppliers to win aerospace tenders over the next decade.

Opportunities To Win Aerospace Tenders

The next decade will continue to see the defence industry drive growth across the aerospace sector.

This area of defence is vast, and the diversity of components needed to produce an aircraft means that there are opportunities throughout the supply chain to win aerospace tenders for businesses of all sizes.

Opportunities to win aerospace tenders exist across the following areas:

  • Engineering
  • Construction
  • Maintenance services
  • Ground crew
  • Training
  • Drone technology
  • Radar equipment


As well as engineering, manufacturing, repair and maintenance services, there is a huge requirement for parts within the aerospace sector. These include manufacturing parts, major assembly parts and smaller component parts – parts alone account for 79% of all UK aerospace exports.

With DCI we can show you today specific tenders that match what you supply.

UK Government Spending On Aerospace Projects

The UK aerospace industry is the second largest in the world, behind only that of the US.

In recent years UK civil aerospace turnover totalled over US$44.6 billion, with the sector claiming approximately 17% of the global market share.

Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP)

The aerospace industry here is well supported by the UK Government and the Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP), a joint initiative between government and industry which will spend £4 billion between 2016 and 2026 on a number of projects, including a £400 million R&D fund for the aerospace sector.

The AGP is a partnership between government and industry which was established in 2010 to secure the future of the UK aerospace industry until 2030 and beyond.

Ambitious spending plans like this will ensure that the UK remains a global leader in the aerospace sector and that the industry will continue to be attractive for suppliers of all sizes to get involved in.
