## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is overseeing the voluntary transparency notice for the "Project Hercules," which involves the redevelopment of Bassingbourn Barracks in Cambridgeshire. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract being valued at £17,474,434 and set to commence on 7th October 2019, lasting until 7th April 2021. This procurement falls under the building construction work category and employs a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure, with a tender period that ended on 3rd January 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and development, particularly for firms specializing in military or government projects. While SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises are noted as unsuitable for this specific contract, larger construction companies with experience in delivering similar projects would be well-positioned to participate in future tenders associated with the Ministry of Defence's frameworks. The project promises to contribute to regional development within the East of England.
