Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured temporary technical accommodation for its MACE requirement at MOD Boscombe Down. This is a facilities-hire service, classified under CPV 55200000 for camping sites and other non-hotel accommodation. The requirement is for accommodation used by technical personnel or teams operating at the defence site, rather than permanent construction or general hotel provision. Delivery and use are at MOD Boscombe Down. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, a central government authority. The procurement covered one service requirement, with the accommodation supplied as a temporary arrangement for the Authority’s operational needs at the site. Suppliers in modular, temporary, event or specialist accommodation hire may find the requirement relevant where they can support defence-site operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. Wernick Event Hire Limited was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed and started on 14 July 2026, and runs until 13 November 2026. Its value is £51,133.17 excluding VAT, or £61,359.80 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open bidding exercise. This outcome records the Ministry of Defence’s purchase of temporary technical accommodation at MOD Boscombe Down and identifies the selected supplier and the agreed contract period and value.

This procurement demonstrates a Ministry of Defence requirement for short-term technical accommodation at an operational defence location. A competitor seeking similar work would need a proven ability to hire, install or manage temporary accommodation suited to technical personnel and site-based operations. Credibility would come from reliable mobilisation, safe and compliant facilities, dependable maintenance and responsive support throughout a defined operational period. Experience working with public-sector or defence customers, managing access and logistics at controlled sites, and maintaining service continuity would strengthen a future offer. The awarded supplier is a large accommodation-hire business, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the organisational capacity to deliver a time-limited specialist service at MOD Boscombe Down.
