## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured external assistance providing soft facilities management subject matter expertise and technical support for regional delivery. The requirement is for technical support services associated with soft FM, supporting the Ministry’s regional delivery activities in the South East of England. The work is classified under CPV 71356300, technical support services. This is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The named buyer is the Ministry of Defence, with delivery located in the South East. The requirement is relevant to organisations that provide specialist soft FM advice, technical assistance and regional support to public-sector or estate-delivery programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to AECOM Limited on 13 August 2026 for GBP 789,659.50. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published tender value was also GBP 789,659.50. The recorded closing deadline was 27 August 2026 at 12:00 BST. AECOM Limited is the active awarded supplier for the complete requirement.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting the Ministry of Defence’s soft FM and regional estate-support requirements. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable subject matter expertise in soft facilities management, the ability to provide dependable technical support, and capacity to support delivery across the South East. Experience of working with public-sector estates, complex operational environments or regional delivery structures would help establish credibility, although the award data does not identify specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The route to market is significant: this requirement was let as a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand relevant framework routes and maintain the capability to respond to call-off competitions.
