Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence commissioned construction works to improve facilities at South Mole, Her Majesty’s Naval Base (HMNB) Gibraltar. The requirement is classified as construction work and concerns improvements to the existing naval base facilities. Gibraltar is the named operational location, although the procurement record also identifies delivery coverage extending across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The work falls within the public-sector defence estate and is intended for a military infrastructure setting. The selected supplier is Mitie Defence Ltd, a large organisation operating in defence-related facilities services and construction work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 October 2025 at 10:00. The tender’s estimated value was £14,000,000. The contract was awarded to Mitie Defence Ltd on 19 August 2026 for £28,663,303.22. The awarded contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 December 2028. The tender was for works rather than goods or services, and the opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates substantial Ministry of Defence demand for construction and facilities improvement work within a naval base environment in Gibraltar. Competitors preparing for similar requirements from this buyer would need the scale and organisational capacity to deliver major works in a defence estate setting, together with the ability to operate through a framework call-off route. The appointed supplier’s large-organisation status indicates the scale of provider the buyer selected for this requirement. Relevant businesses are likely to be established construction or defence facilities contractors able to manage complex infrastructure improvements, coordinate delivery at a secure military site and sustain performance across a multi-year contract. SME and VCSE-led firms would need a credible large-scale delivery model.
