GB-Huntingdon: ED76 Assessment of No 1 AIDU Production Process

NOTE: This notice was updated on 11 July 2017 for the following reason: Section 12 of the original notice states that the deadline for submitting your response(s) is 28/07/2018 17:00.

As detailed elsewhere in the notice, the deadline is 09/08/2017 10:00.No 1 Aeronautical Information Document Unit (No 1 AIDU) at RAF Northolt is responsible to the MoD for the publication & distribution of all permanent unclassified information concerning any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard required by UK Military personnel directly concerned with the operation & safety of aircraft.

To support the on-going provision of Aeronautical Information suitable for new Area Navigation applications an independent assessment of No 1 AIDU compliance with ED-76A/RTCA DO200B is required.

As a military establishment No 1 AIDU is unable to gain approval from Civil ATM organisations & regulators such as EASA or EUROCONTROL SRC.

All organisations claiming compliance with the standards of ED-76A must demonstrate such compliance, normally by audit.

As such, No 1 AIDU is looking for an independent company with relevant Aeronautical Information experience to audit No 1 AIDU for compliance with the requirements of ED-76A.

Potential Providers must be BSI EN ISO 9001: 2008 or 2015 accredited & must have previously successfully undertaken an ED-76 or ED-76A audit.

The Unit currently holds a Certificate of ED-76A Compliance which was obtained in November 2015, & the successful Provider will be required to review the current documentation & processes, prepare an Audit plan prior to conducting a formal Audit, & provide a full Audit report.

Please see 'Other Information' below for important details for those wishing to submit documentation in support of this procurement.
