## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has successfully completed the procurement process for the refurbishment of 14 properties in Cottesmore, as part of the FDIS Contract Award Notice for the fiscal year 2026/27. This project falls under the "Refurbishment of run-down buildings" industry category, with a geographical focus in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 19th January 2026. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 9th February 2026 and conclude on 27th March 2026. The procurement method applied was categorised as "Other" and was specifically tailored to accommodate small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a contract value of £348,000.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in building refurbishment, particularly those specialising in window and door replacements, electrical works, and property cladding. The requirement for on-site liaison officers also suggests opportunities for firms with strong project management skills. SMEs, like Ser Contractor Ltd, which was awarded the contract, are particularly well-suited to benefit from this type of opportunity, enabling them to expand their portfolio within the public sector construction and refurbishment domain. Firms operating within or near the East Midlands may find this contract particularly accessible due to the geographical focus of the project.
