## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process concerning the potential commercialisation of land at RAF Northolt. This process, titled "0102- RAF Northolt – Land Commercialisation-RFI," falls under the works category and involves services related to vacant land rental or sale as well as land reclamation work. Based in the United Kingdom, specifically at RAF High Wycombe, the preliminary phase involves a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge market interest and capabilities. The deadline for responses to this RFI is set for 3 June 2025.

This opportunity could be particularly appealing for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in expanding their operations in land development or utilisation. The engagement with the Ministry of Defence presents a unique chance for businesses specialising in land services to showcase their capabilities and potentially play a role in future procurement activities. Given the project's location and nature, companies adept in land-related works and those capable of navigating government contracts would find this undertaking advantageous for business growth and innovation.
