UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is planning bespoke software development for its Establishment Management Plans (EMPs), which describe and support management of the defence estate. The work will develop an enhanced visualisation capability showing EMP results more clearly and linking them to live Defence Infrastructure Organisation datasets. It is intended to provide a stronger baseline view for establishments and improve the quality and interpretation of future EMP updates. The planned development will also explore improved connections with Estate Lens and the eventual creation of a field tool for capturing live building-condition data. This is a digital and data-focused service within real-estate management and software development, to be delivered for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation across its establishments. The procurement is classified as development services for real estate (CPV 70110000).

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It is planned as a single lot under the light-touch services regime, with the lot marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer expects the contract to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT and £720,000 including VAT. A further notice is expected on 11 September 2026 if the opportunity progresses. The planned scope is bespoke development to the Defence Infrastructure Organisation’s specifications, covering visualisation of EMP results, live data connections, Estate Lens integration and potential field data-capture functionality. The future tender will establish the detailed procedure, requirements and evaluation approach.

The work is likely to suit software houses and specialist digital suppliers with experience of bespoke application development, data visualisation and integrating software with live operational datasets. Relevant capability may include designing user-focused interfaces, connecting disparate estate or asset-management data sources, developing tools for field-based data collection and translating technical information into clear visual outputs. Suppliers able to work with a public-sector client to develop a business-as-usual methodology, rather than a one-off prototype, should be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. Experience of property, facilities, estate or building-condition information would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to shape software around the Defence Infrastructure Organisation’s specifications. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist firms with appropriate delivery capacity may wish to prepare.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Establishment Management Plans - EMP APP

Notice Description

1. DIO is developing an enhanced visualisation software regarding all extant EMPs. The aim is to develop a view of the results of an EMP in a more visual way and connect the EMP with live DIO datasets. The TLBs are supportive, as this will enable a digital capability to support future updates of EMPs. It will also increase efficiency by providing an enhanced baseline view for all Establishments and improve the quality and understanding (interpretation) of future EMPs. 2. This project now requires further development into a business-as-usual software methodology for delivering the visualisation of EMPs. This will include exploring enhanced data connections with the Estate Lens and the eventual development of a field tool to capture live data around building condition. This requires bespoke software designed to the specifications of the DIO The information in this UK1 Pipeline Notice is purely for information, and no further details are available at this stage. Please do not contact the DIO contracting authority regarding this UK1 Pipeline Notice. Further details will be provided in a future tender notice if the opportunity progresses
