While not a Value for Money Policy Review per se, aviation consultants Aerosurance Ltd carried out a Mid-Term Assessment of the contract in 2018 including performance and contractual compliance.  The review specifically identified issues to be taken into consideration in relation to the new service. 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.
