Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has issued a planned procurement notice for a supply chain opportunity under the title "Supply Chain Notice: WP057 Bastion container(s)". This pertains to the industry category of security fittings and is intended for construction at Keogh Barracks, Aldershot. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with key communications regarding this opportunity having been published on 29 May 2026. The estimated contract period is slated to begin on 25 April 2030 and conclude by 2 July 2030. The procurement method details have not been explicitly mentioned, but it is clear that interested suppliers need to hold Cyber Essentials accreditation and be prepared for security clearance procedures.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply and installation of security fittings, particularly those that can meet the demand for specialised container solutions. With an estimated contract value of £1,800,000, this tender is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), though not specifically targeted at voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses with the requisite cybersecurity accreditations and the ability to service sites across the UK and internationally will find this opportunity especially appealing, potentially leading to further growth and establishment within the defence sector.
