Aerossurance Ltd were appointed by my Department, following an open procurement process, as an aviation consultancy for the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). Their services include the provision of advice in connection with the Search and Rescue helicopter contract and related matters including future projects, contractual compliance and assistance in tender assessment.
In that context and in the interests of continuous improvement, Aerossurance were requested in 2018 to conduct an internal review of the current CHC Ireland (CHCI) contract, including KPIs and contractual compliance. The review is not publicly available as it contains commercially sensitive information and forms part of a wider deliberative process for the procurement of the new SAR Aviation service, currently underway.
