Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring building refurbishment works at Episkopi, Cyprus, to replace asbestos-containing wall and roof cement cladding with corrugated galvanised steel sheeting. The scope covers structural alterations, demolition and safe removal of asbestos roof sheets, canopies, wall cladding and ceiling debris, alongside removal of timber coverings, partitions, doors, windows and most existing roof structure. The contractor will install a new steel-framed roof, insulated rockwool wall and roof panels, suspended plasterboard ceiling, blockwork and capping beams. Further works include aluminium doors and windows, an electrically operated roller shutter, uPVC gutters and rainwater downpipes, mechanical removals, associated electrical work, and internal and external decoration. This is a construction works requirement, classified under CPV 45262690 for refurbishment of run-down buildings.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a pre-qualification and expression-of-interest stage, followed by invitations to tender. Companies had to return the PQQ and EOI electronically by 12:00 EET on 31 August 2026; the tender return deadline was set for 31 August 2026 at 23:59 UK time. The stated contract period runs from 11 January 2027 to 15 September 2027, with work provisionally commencing on 1 February 2027 and completing on 15 September 2027. The planned contract award date is 11 January 2027. The estimated value is £535,000. Commencement and completion remain subject to MOD DIO agreement and operational restrictions. Bidders with a PQQ submitted during the previous 12 months could reuse it by providing its details.

This opportunity suits an SME construction or refurbishment contractor able to manage a multi-trade building project in a controlled operational environment in Cyprus. The work requires proven capability in asbestos surveying, licensed asbestos removal and compliant disposal, as well as demolition and structural alteration. Relevant delivery experience should include steel roof and framing systems, insulated cladding, suspended ceilings, blockwork, aluminium and uPVC installations, roller shutters, drainage, decoration, mechanical removals and electrical works. A suitably qualified principal contractor, or a well-managed consortium with specialist subcontractors, would be well placed to deliver the scope. Suppliers need the capacity to coordinate several trades, work around operational restrictions and complete the refurbishment within the planned delivery period. The requirement specifically identifies SMEs as suitable participants.
