## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Amey Defence Services Limited involves the refurbishment of 43 properties at Wattisham, located in the East of England. This project, titled "FDIS - Wattisham External Refurbishment to 43 properties - FY2026/27 - Amey Central Region - East," falls under the industry category of "Refurbishment of run-down buildings" and is currently in the planning stage. The budget allocated for the project is £4,500,000 GBP, with the contract period expected to commence on 5th May 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027. Interested parties are to submit Expressions of Interest via email by the 11th of March 2026. The competitive quotation procurement method is being employed, reflecting a limited process below the threshold, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This refurbishment tender presents significant business growth opportunities for construction companies, particularly those well-versed in complying with MOD SFG20 standards and who can operate within a BIM Level 2 environment. Subcontractors need to be verified members of Constructionline with the capability to act as the main contractor and possess essential attributes like handling MOD identifiable information securely and delivering social value in collaboration with Amey. Those firms that can meet these criteria are in a prime position to compete, potentially leading to similar future works negotiated on submitted rates. This project allows businesses to solidify their position within the defence services sector whilst aligning with social responsibility goals and business continuity plans, fostering sustainable growth and operational resiliency. The contract demands the awardee to possess professional indemnity insurance covering at least £1,000,000, reinforcing the need for well-established firms equipped for large-scale refurbishment projects.
