Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured an alliance contractor for construction, refurbishment and handover works at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. The work forms part of the Airfield Operating Surfaces – Programmatic Approach and covers the RIBA stages 5–6. It concerns the delivery and refurbishment of airfield operating surfaces, followed by handover. The recorded delivery location is RAF Waddington, near Lincoln. This is a construction works requirement (CPV 45000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lagan Construction Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £53,315,516.10. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 19 July 2028. The tender used a selective procedure through competitive dialogue. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was described as one construction and refurbishment package; no lot-by-lot award is recorded. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 16:00. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria beyond the competitive dialogue procedure.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for substantial, integrated airfield construction and refurbishment, including delivery through RIBA stages 5–6 and final handover. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the capacity to act as an alliance contractor and manage construction delivery at an operational RAF airfield, coordinating the works through to handover. The selected supplier was a large construction company, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating a scale and delivery model aimed at larger contractors. Businesses with relevant airfield or infrastructure construction capability, and the resources to manage a complex refurbishment programme for the Ministry of Defence, are the closest fit. This is evidence of the buyer’s specific requirement, not an invitation to compete for this awarded contract.
