## Summary

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has recently awarded a contract titled "South West Region Multi Activity Contract" for managing and delivering Soft Facilities Management services across various Ministry of Defence (MOD) sites in the South West of England, including counties such as Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. This contract, valued at approximately £182.77 million, is part of a series of regional contracts under Project HESTIA, designed to deliver comprehensive services including catering, waste management, and cleaning operations. The procurement was conducted via a Competitive Negotiated Procedure, with the contract period starting on 6th December 2017 and concluding on 31st May 2023. Key dates of interest include the tender period, which ended on 13th December 2016, with the contract officially awarded on 5th December 2017.

This contract creates substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in facilities management, catering services, and waste management. Companies capable of providing a full suite of Soft FM services or those who can form consortia to meet the contract requirements will find competitive avenues within this framework. The DIO’s emphasis on a Special Purpose Vehicle or consortium approach allows for collaborative ventures, thereby facilitating opportunities for both large-scale enterprises and potential partnerships within the industry. Additionally, businesses looking to expand into retail and leisure services at MOD sites may also find value beyond the core requirements of the contract.
