Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation intends to procure refurbishment works for Building 260 at BATSUB in Belize. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work and falls within the works category. Delivery is identified as Belize, so suppliers would need to be able to undertake construction and refurbishment activity there. The project title identifies Building 260 as the facility to be refurbished. BATSUB is the stated project context. The buyer is a central government defence infrastructure organisation, indicating that the work is associated with public-sector defence facilities. The scope currently available is limited to refurbishment of the named building; further requirements are expected to be set out if the procurement progresses.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender yet. The buyer expects to use an open procedure for one planned lot. The estimated value is £600,000 including VAT, and the procurement is above the relevant threshold. The planned contract period is 5 October 2026 to 5 July 2027. The buyer’s expected date for a future notice is 3 August 2026. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is therefore a future competition rather than a current bidding exercise, with substantive tender information to follow if the project proceeds.

This procurement should suit construction contractors and specialist refurbishment firms able to deliver building works for a public-sector defence facility in Belize. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly identified as suitable for the planned lot, so the requirement is not limited to major national contractors on the information currently available. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating capability to manage refurbishment works, coordinate site activity and deliver construction outputs in an operational or secure-facility environment. Firms with experience of comparable building refurbishment projects, appropriate health and safety systems, quality controls and the capacity to work in Belize would be well placed to assess the future tender when its requirements are published.
