Defence invites proposals from qualified suppliers to participate in an open tender process for the selection of a replacement airframe solution to modernise its fleet. This procurement seeks to replace our two aging B757 aircraft with commercially available, off-the-shelf Boeing Max 8 or Airbus A321 NEO family, narrow-body aircraft.

Key Requirement includes:
1. Aircraft Platform
2. Delivery Timeline
3. Military Registration
4. Pathway to Ownership
5. Deposit Terms

This tender process is designed to select a preferred solution provider for the replacement of the B757 aircraft, and only suppliers that meet the tender pre-requisites will be eligible for consideration.
Note: This RFT is solely focused on the selection of the airframe (and engine option as applicable). Proposals for related services, such as through-life support, maintenance, or other ancillary offerings, are outside the scope of this RFT and will not be considered. Only submissions addressing the airframe requirements will be evaluated.

This tender has been awarded.
