## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking industry engagement for the provision of semi-permanent accommodation solutions for the Royal Navy at the MoD Range in the Outer Hebrides. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 18th May 2026. The tender is classified under the industry category of modular and portable buildings, and it seeks robust accommodation solutions that can withstand year-round conditions in the specified location. Suppliers will need to provide accommodation for 70 individuals with necessary amenities, which must be heatable and suitable for transport and assembly at the Hebridean site.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in modular construction, prefabricated units, and portable living solutions. Companies capable of delivering innovative and durable housing solutions that meet the Royal Navy's specific requirements are encouraged to express interest. The procurement process is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which opens avenues for business growth in these sectors. Firms with expertise in prefabricated structures, cabins, and multi-dwelling building construction work are well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The Royal Navy (RN) is interested in scoping industry options for semi-permanent (minimum 10 year lifetime) accommodation solutions. The RN is keen to understand if any industry providers could offer accommodation for 70 individuals, featuring single occupancy housing in a pre-fabricated building, containerised 'pod' solutions, or other novel options. Solution should be fitted with the necessary plumbing for running water, toilet & shower. Alternative solutions of communal areas will be considered. Solution would be facilitated at MoD Range in the Outer Hebrides, and thus must be robust enough to survive year round conditions. Solution must be capable of being heated- ideally via electricity although other alternatives would be considered. Options for transport to Outer Hebrides to support ongoing RN activity, as well as installation at Hebridean site.
