UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process, aiming to secure a development partner for the re-development of the MOD Feltham Barracks site in partnership with the London Borough of Hounslow and the Greater London Authority. The project is located in the UKI7 region of Greater London, United Kingdom. This procurement process falls under the 'works' category, with a gross value of £570,000,000. The DIO has published preliminary market engagement notices, inviting registered providers to register their interest by 19 June 2026, with one-to-one supplier events planned from late June 2026. The procurement method involves engaging with interested suppliers to refine proposals, focusing on matters such as deal structure, masterplan principles, and housing delivery.

This tender presents an exciting opportunity for businesses in the residential real estate and construction industries, especially those with expertise in urban development and large residential projects. Ideal contenders are registered providers experienced in funding and constructing residential-led masterplans. Participating businesses can contribute to high-profile national projects aligning with UK governmental priorities for defence budget optimisation and housing delivery acceleration. The development of the MOD Feltham site offers potential for substantial business growth, enabling firms to engage in a significant project in a prime London location and enhance their portfolio in large-scale real estate development.

Notice Title

MOD Feltham Development Agreement

Notice Description

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), in partnership with the London Borough of Hounslow (LBH) and the Greater London Authority (GLA), will be launching a competition to secure a development partner for the re-development of the MOD Feltham Barracks site. The DIO, LBH and GLA have recently entered into a Collaboration Agreement that promotes joint working between the parties to enable the successful redevelopment of the Site. Originally a War Office depot, it became known for its military intelligence facilities. The site is earmarked for closure and the DIO are working the LBH and the GLA to bring forward the site for a mixed-tenure residential development. The site is key for two national government priorities: 1. The site is part of a programme to deliver capital receipts for the operational UK Defence budget in line with government priorities for UK security. 2. The site is part of the DIO's 'Trailblazer' portfolio intended to accelerate and maximise housing delivery in line with government priorities for housebuilding. The DIO proposes to enter into a Development Agreement with a developer and transfer the site on satisfaction of conditions. The developer will be responsible for securing detailed planning consent; funding and delivering the scheme in accordance with a number of landowner parameters. The DIO will be responsible for providing vacant possession in accordance with an agreed programme.
