Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Amey Defence Services Limited is planning to procure terrestrial laser-scanning surveys of Defence Housing Service properties in the Central and North regions. The work covers internal and external areas of each property, including attached outbuildings and the full external envelope within the property boundary. Suppliers will capture colour point-cloud data and 360-degree photospheres, register and clean the scan data, redact personal or sensitive imagery, and upload the deliverables to the Authority’s platform. The Central region includes East, West and East Midlands; the North region covers northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Asset itemisation and photography are excluded from this requirement and are covered by separate commercial arrangements. This is building-surveying work (CPV 71251000), supporting Amey’s regional accommodation maintenance service for the Ministry of Defence.

The procurement is at planning stage: Amey has set out its intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender at this stage. The buyer expects to use an open procedure below the threshold. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The estimated procurement value is £10,000 to £113,000, while the stated budget for 2027/28 is £4.5 million; these figures describe different aspects of the process and should not be treated as interchangeable. A future notice is expected on 13 November 2026. The requirement is described as covering the Central and North regions, with delivery across areas of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable suppliers.

This work is suited to surveying and geospatial firms able to deploy terrestrial laser-scanning equipment across a geographically broad housing portfolio and manage the resulting data through to platform upload. The specification calls for a Leica RTC360 scanner or equivalent, capability in producing colourised point clouds and 360-degree photospheres, and skills in data registration, cleaning and image redaction. Suppliers should be prepared to meet Ministry of Defence security requirements and pass a pre-qualification questionnaire. Verified Constructionline Gold membership is essential for subcontractors or consultants seeking to express interest, and successful suppliers will need to accept Amey’s terms and conditions. The work may suit SMEs with the technical resources and operational reach to survey properties throughout the Central and North regions; asset itemisation and photography are outside this scope.
