Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the refurbishment of 44 Service Family Accommodation (SFA) units in Cranwell involves a future tender opportunity planned by Amey Defence Services Limited, located in Huntingdon, England. The procurement is focused on external refurbishments including window replacements with acoustic design, entrance door replacements, and lintel repairs, among other improvements. This project falls under the industry category of "Refurbishment of run-down buildings," situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the process is set to move to a competitive quotation method below the threshold, with key dates including the future notice date of 15th April 2026 and the contract period between 17th August and 27th November 2026. This call for competition highlights that expressions of interest are strictly via email and emphasises the essential requirements for subcontractors including acting as the main contractor and being a verified Constructionline member.

The tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building refurbishment and construction, especially those capable of meeting stringent military and safety requirements. Ideal contenders would be small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that comply with MOD standards and demonstrate proficiency in working within BIM Level 2 environments. With a budget allocation of £4,500,000 for the fiscal year 2026/2027, the project encourages firms to bring social value to the client and requires organisations to possess a solid corporate social responsibility policy and disaster recovery plans. Successful subcontractors will need to pass a pre-qualification questionnaire and align with Amey's Terms and Conditions, making it a lucrative chance for capable construction companies to solidify their position in government contracts and potentially secure further projects of a similar nature.
