UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) focuses on the redevelopment of the Feltham Barracks site in collaboration with the London Borough of Hounslow and the Greater London Authority. The project, titled "Feltham DGC Development Agreement," is within the planning stage and falls under the sector of real estate development. Located in the UKI7 region of the United Kingdom, this initiative aims to redevelop the site into a mixed-tenure residential area, aligning with national priorities such as securing capital receipts for the UK Defence budget and accelerating housing delivery. Interested suppliers must register by 28th November 2025, with one-to-one supplier events scheduled from the week commencing 1st December 2025 to the week commencing 15th December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in large-scale residential developments to partner with a central government authority. Suitable candidates would likely be those with a proven track record and current capabilities in designing, funding, and delivering large urban residential projects exceeding 500 mixed-tenure homes. This development project is an attractive opportunity for firms seeking to enter or expand within the UK's real estate market, especially those interested in collaborative efforts with public authorities. With an estimated contract value of £475 million, it promises substantial business growth potential for developers willing to engage with the DIO and meet the outlined parameters for fulfilment.

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 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.
