## Summary

Fareham Borough Council, a public authority functioning under sub-central government, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the installation of eight temporary UPVC hangars at the Solent Airfield Daedalus, located in the UKJ31 region, United Kingdom. The project involves the manufacture, supply, and installation of these structures. Expressions of interest need to be submitted by midday on 10 September 2025, ahead of the planning decision expected by 29 September 2025. Successful suppliers can expect discussions to commence for a contract starting from 1 November 2025, with the potential end date being 1 November 2027. The procurement is classified under the airport equipment and maintenance hangar construction category, involving a tender initiation method. The budget has already been approved, ensuring a quick transition into the order placement phase following planning approval.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing and installing temporary structures, particularly those familiar with airport equipment. The Council seeks an end-to-end solution provider, which opens the door for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to their suitability designation in the tender process. Companies with capabilities in delivering robust, UV-resistant storage solutions designed to withstand high wind speeds and with anti-corrosion features should consider submitting an expression of interest. The phased approach to this project allows businesses to plan their resource allocation effectively and offers room for market-driven adjustments, promoting flexibility and growth within the supply chain.
