Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the tender process for the construction of a new Passenger and Freight Handling Facility at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, under the project titled "APOLLO Provision of Passenger & Freight Handling Facility." The procurement process was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the main industry category being construction work for airfields. The procurement reached the award update stage by the end of August 2025. The contract, valued at £63,431,815.50, is scheduled to run from 3rd July 2023 to 13th May 2027, including a select tendering phase that ended in February 2023. This project location is widely relatable, with reach extending to British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large construction companies with expertise in airfield infrastructure, especially those familiar with framework agreements and contracts within military contexts. The project, being a high-value construction undertaking, favours businesses with substantial resources and expertise in large-scale engineering projects. While it's not designated for SMEs or VCSEs, large enterprises like The C.S.P (Cyprus Services Provider) Joint Venture and LAGAN LACOVOU JV have already been involved, highlighting the competitive nature and scale suited for well-established businesses capable of delivering complex construction solutions on a global scale in the defence sector.
