Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is inviting tenders for the "Framework Contract BATUK" aimed at construction work, with activities planned to be carried out in Kenya. The process is currently in the tender stage, following a previous planning phase. The procurement is being conducted through an open, below-threshold competition with a tender period closing on 13th May 2026 at 10:00 AM BST, and the final date for inquiries set for 1st May 2026. The contract is scheduled to commence on 24th June 2026 and will run until 23rd June 2030, with an estimated gross value of £5,800,000. This project is classified as part of works in the industry category and accommodates electronic submissions through the designated submission method.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in construction work and capable of operating internationally, to expand their portfolios by engaging in a long-term project abroad. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity especially beneficial given the suitability criteria indicating open accessibility for such entities. The focus on an advantageous tender evaluation suggests that those who can offer both competitive pricing and high-quality innovative solutions may gain a significant advantage. Additionally, businesses with experience in working within military or government infrastructure projects could leverage this experience to position themselves as leading contenders in the procurement process.
