UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is planning a procurement process for the refurbishment of the College Hall Officers Mess at RAF Cranwell under the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6320. The process is in the planning stage, as indicated by the pipeline notice published on 22nd April 2026. Located in Lichfield, United Kingdom, this project falls within the works industry category, specifically targeting refurbishment work. The planned contract period starts on 1st September 2027 and ends on 15th December 2030, with an anticipated total project value of £32,500,000 net, or £39,000,000 gross. Further details are expected in future tender notices as the process progresses.

This planned procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in construction and refurbishment work. Businesses that operate within the works category, especially those familiar with the legal and technical frameworks of Crown Commercial Services arrangements, are likely to find this opportunity advantageous. Due to the scale and specialised nature of the refurbishment, organisations with experience in infrastructure projects for government entities would be well-suited to compete for this tender, once further details become available. The project also presents opportunities for regional contractors familiar with projects located in Central England, where Lichfield serves as the base for the lead authorities.
