## Summary

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is planning a procurement process titled "Land Quality Assessment (LQA) - 25-28", which falls under the services category and involves assessing the presence of Per/Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contaminants across the Ministry of Defence Estate. This process aims to understand potential liabilities related to soil and water contamination. The industry classification associated with this tender is risk or hazard assessment for construction, and it is planned to take place within the UK. The contract period is set from 31 August 2025 to 31 August 2028. As of the document's latest update on 20 May 2025, the procurement is in the planning stage, with further notices expected by 30 May 2025.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental sciences, particularly those with expertise in land and water contamination assessments. Companies that have experience dealing with "forever chemicals" in large-scale infrastructure projects or those offering innovative solutions in environmental risk appraisal stand in a good position to compete. Given the sizeable budget of up to £10.8 million, there is substantial potential for growth and collaboration with the central government, providing an attractive prospect for firms looking to expand their governmental contracts portfolio.
