Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process is initiated by the Ministry of Defence for a project entitled "Beckingham Camp_Electrical Intake Upgrades to support DNO upgrades." It falls under the industry category of electrical installation work with CPV code 45310000. The tender, classified under the 'works' main procurement category, is active and follows a restricted procedure, indicative of its selective procurement method. The project is situated in the East of England, UK, and involves upgrades to the existing site electrical distribution infrastructure at Beckingham Camp. The procurement is in the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions being 1st July 2026 at 14:00 BST. The contract period commences on 1st October 2026 and concludes by 1st March 2027, with an estimated value of £312,000.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical installation and infrastructure development, notably those that can adapt to the specific requirements of military environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in designing and constructing electrical infrastructure will particularly benefit, given the selective and above-threshold nature of the procedure. This project not only provides a financial growth opportunity but also the potential for businesses to engage in critical upgrade works which are likely essential for enhancing electrical capacity and reliability within military camps. Being awarded such a contract could serve as a significant reference for future governmental or military projects.
