Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the development of the Duxford AvTech site, overseen by the Imperial War Museum (IWM) in collaboration with Gonville & Caius, has reached the award stage. This project involves the commercial development of non-residential real estate at IWM Duxford, with the aim to establish an advanced aviation technology campus providing approximately 45,000 square metres of employment space. The contracting process utilised a competitive dialogue method and has been classified under the services procurement category with a focus on real estate development. The contract was awarded to Henry Boot Developments Limited, and the procurement process adheres to the legal framework of Directive 24/2014/EU (CELEX), with the project status being marked as complete as of September 18, 2025. This development is located within the UK, and earlier stages of the tender took place in 2024.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in property development, real estate services, and construction. With the potential to engage in site development, building construction, and urban development work, companies with expertise in obtaining planning permissions, securing funding, and managing long-term property investments would find this venture particularly beneficial. The competitive dialogue procurement method offered an inclusive process, promising growth prospects for firms looking to expand within the UK real estate market. Moreover, the inclusion of varied CPV codes such as building construction and real estate services suggests that enterprises with diverse capabilities in these areas could compete effectively, thereby fostering their business growth through participation in this significant infrastructure project.
