UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation intends to procure specialist technical services to continue developing the Ministry of Defence Estate Lens. The service will support the next stages of its operating capability and help meet the expectations of the National Armaments Director Group and Top-Level Budget Holders. Estate Lens is intended to become an enduring Ministry of Defence capability, supporting Establishment Management Plans, infrastructure planning and future infrastructure requirements linked to the Strategic Defence Review. It calculates estate supply and demand and identifies opportunities to optimise the estate. This is a services procurement focused on the development of non-residential real estate. The work is for the Ministry of Defence estate, with the buyer based in Lichfield. One planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has published an intention to procure, not an invitation to tender. The tender is planned as one lot, with an expected contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The estimated value is £960,000 excluding VAT, or £1,152,000 including VAT. The procurement is identified as a light-touch services regime. The buyer expects to provide further details in a future tender notice if the opportunity progresses. The pipeline notice gives no tender procedure, submission arrangements, evaluation criteria or participation requirements. Businesses should therefore treat the dates and value as planning information rather than a current bidding timetable, and use the future tender notice to assess the final scope, selection requirements and award basis.

This will suit consultancies and specialist technical service providers with experience of defence or public-sector estates, infrastructure planning and estate management. Relevant capability is likely to include developing and operating estate-planning tools, modelling estate supply and demand, translating analysis into Establishment Management Plans, and identifying opportunities to optimise property and infrastructure portfolios. Suppliers should be able to provide technical advice that supports senior budget holders and strategic defence infrastructure decisions, while extending an existing capability rather than creating an entirely new one. The work may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, since the planned lot is explicitly marked as SME-suitable. Businesses with demonstrable experience in non-residential real-estate development, strategic asset planning, data-led decision support and complex stakeholder environments should prepare for the future tender.
