## Summary

The Ministry of Defence invites interest in its Portsmouth Naval Base Building Investment Programme, focused on survey and design services. This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, aims to support and regenerate five essential buildings within the naval base, including listed structures like the Sail Loft and the Cochrane Building. The project, valued between £40-60 million, will unfold over six years under a phased approval strategy. Located in Portsmouth, England, within the South East region, the programme's industry classification falls under Architectural and Building-surveying services. The engagement period concludes on 23 May 2025.
