Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring works to refurbish and standardise emergency water storage infrastructure at ten locations in the Episkopi area of Cyprus, serving the British Forces. The project covers the removal and disposal of existing fibreglass and GRP sectional tanks at eight locations, alterations to concrete bases, and the supply and installation of 25 new 20 m³ polyethylene water tanks. The works also include valves, pipework, mechanical fittings, connections to the existing potable water network, automatic refilling systems, civil works, mechanical works and commissioning. Existing tanks at two additional locations must be connected to the potable water mains for automatic replenishment. The procurement category is water-tank installation works, associated with CPV 44611500.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a limited competitive quotation procedure below the threshold. Companies had to submit an expression of interest and Pre-Qualification Questionnaire electronically by 12:00 EET on 7 August 2026; a PQQ submitted within the previous 12 months could be referenced instead. The published tender period ends at 23:59 on 12 August 2026, while the project timetable gives 24 September 2026 as the tender return date. The stated contract period runs from 18 January to 18 June 2027, with work scheduled to commence on 25 January and finish on 18 June 2027. The estimated value is £365,000. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits an SME contractor able to deliver integrated water-storage infrastructure works rather than supply tanks alone. Relevant capability includes removing and disposing of existing fibreglass and GRP tanks, modifying concrete bases, installing multiple 20 m³ polyethylene tanks, and connecting them safely to a potable-water distribution network. Suppliers will need practical civil, mechanical, pipework and valve-installation skills, together with the ability to install automatic tank-refilling arrangements and complete commissioning so that each installation is operational. The requirement also suits businesses experienced in working across several sites, coordinating construction activities with existing infrastructure, and delivering standardised emergency water-storage systems for a defence-related client.
