UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation intends to procure works to construct a new water supply for Okehampton Training Camp in Dartmoor, Devon. The project covers construction of a water main and associated water pipeline infrastructure serving the training camp. It is a civil engineering and utilities construction requirement, classified as construction work for water and sewage pipelines (CPV 45231300). The buying organisation is a central government defence infrastructure body, and the work is intended for the Okehampton Camp site in Devon. Suppliers whose business covers water infrastructure, pipeline construction, excavation, civil engineering and associated site works should consider this project relevant to their market. The requirement is presented as a planned procurement for a single project rather than a divided multi-service programme.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned approach is a below-threshold direct procurement without competition. The buyer’s estimated value is £3,656,668 excluding VAT and £4,388,001 including VAT. It is planned as one lot. The expected contract period is from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2027. These are indicative project dates rather than deadlines for suppliers to respond. The procurement is currently described as planned, and further details are expected in a future tender notice if the project progresses. Businesses should therefore treat this as an early pipeline opportunity and use the period before any future notice to prepare.

This project is likely to suit contractors with practical experience delivering water mains, water supply systems and utility pipeline construction, particularly firms able to undertake civil engineering and construction works at a training or defence site. Relevant capability may include route preparation, excavation, pipe installation, connections, testing, commissioning, reinstatement and coordination of site activities. Contractors with experience managing health, safety, environmental and operational constraints on secure or active sites are likely to be well placed when the requirement progresses. Civil engineering businesses, specialist water infrastructure contractors and larger utilities firms with suitable delivery capacity may all be relevant. The planned work gives capable suppliers time to review their technical resources, delivery teams, supply chain and comparable project experience before a future procurement stage.
