Summary of the contracting process

AMEY DEFENCE SERVICES LIMITED is planning a public procurement process for the refurbishment of a large detached, late Victorian, red-brick villa at Palace Barracks in Northern Ireland. The project, titled "FDIS - External Refurbishment of single large property at Palace Barracks - FY2025/26," falls under the industry category of refurbishment of run-down buildings, specifically with CPV code 45262690. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 2nd October 2025. Potential contractors should express their interest by email, with the procurement commencing on 5th January 2026 and concluding on 27th March 2026. With an overall budget of £4,500,000 allocated from 2025 to 2026, and the main contract valued at £348,000, the procurement method involves a competitive quotation below the threshold.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), looking to expand in the realm of construction and refurbishment. Firms that are suitably verified on Constructionline, possess the ability to act as main contractors, and comply with specific MOD standards and security requirements are well-positioned to succeed. Additionally, businesses capable of delivering social value and operating within BIM Level 2 environments would find this project particularly advantageous. Upon expressing interest, subcontractors will be required to meet rigorous measures such as passing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and maintaining substantial PI Insurance, making this procurement an attractive prospect for growth-minded construction firms with robust corporate governance frameworks.
